The LWP package is broken, in case you haven't noticed.  The demo that
comes with it works, but that's because it calls printf().  printf is 
redfined so that it blocks a task switch during the function call.  The
code that blocks a task switch calls yield() if a certain variable is 
set.  The reason the demo works is because that variable is ALWAYS set, 
therefore it is always yielding, and never pre-empting.  I've fixed some
of this, but it's not complete.  I haven't had much time to work on it
during the holidays, but a new version should be out within a week or two.
