Subject: thread::shared nearly working again - remaining issue
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b85e4fe3be6a9500d3cf5a72f618bc0f7919496;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

thread::shared nearly working again - remaining issue
is references withing shared space.
Added bulk test with no threads involved (for debugging)
Tuned tests to skip those needing _thrcnt
