Is there a Lisp or Smalltalk that does REAL multithreading? Not cooperative 
multiprocessing, but real OS-kernel pre-emptive threads. This means threads
can run on multiple processors in an SMP, and taking a virtual memory fault
in one thread does not block others. How does GC interact with threads?

I am afraid I am doomed to C++ unless I can find this. Forgive me.
