IMHO, debugging Lazarus is hard as it is, why make it more complicated
by turning it in a mulithtreaded app. That said, there is information
in the wiki about debugging mulithreaded applications
(http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Multithreaded_Application_Tutorial#Linux)
and I am not the one developing on Linux, so I don't care that much.
