Hi, everybody
  Can you tell me how to build the SpiderMonkey C engine threadsafe in
win2000 with compiler vc6? thanks a lot.
  I downloaded js-1.5-rc5a.tar.gz and nspr-4.3.zip from mozilla. After
unpacking js-1.5-rc5a.tar.gz, I got the engine's source file. Unpacking
nspr-4.3.zip I got nspr's header files and compiled libs and dlls.
  the directory structures as follow:
   c:\jsengine\spidermonkey\js\src
   c:\jsengine\nspr\include
   c:\jsengine\nspr\lib
Then I modified js.mak as follows:

  cd JavaScriptEngine\SpiderMonkey\js\src\
  a.. copy js.mak ts_js.mak
  b.. In ts_js.mak, make the following changes.
  c.. Add /D "JS_THREADSAFE" to all the CPP_PROJ defns.
  d.. Add /I "../../../nspr/include" to all the CPP_PROJ defns.
  e.. Add libnspr4.lib /libpath:"../../../nspr/lib" to all the LINK32_FLAGS
defns
Then I run in command line:
 C:\...\src\nmake /f ts_js.mak
After compiling, I got js32.dll and js32.lib
It seems everything is ok, but when I used windows API
CreateThread()(_beginthreadex()) or nspr API PR_CreateThread() created
multithreads with every thread associated with its own Runtime and Context,
It didn't work! The engine would reference to unreadable address after
threads began few seconds. When with single thread, It works well.
  What is wrong with it? Can you help
