If y'all set out to mix POSIX-style threads and ASTs together in the same application process, do definitely skim Ask The Wizard topic (6099). Any active thread can get hit at any time with an incoming AST, for instance, and you can definitely configure things such that you can have an active thread and an active AST executing entirely in parallel.
