Right.  There are other potential thread problems in this code, too.

However, I've checked it with some minor formatting changes.  I'd
appreciate if you (Craig) would consider making this thread safe.  That
means eliminating the use of statics, for the most part and using
strtok_r, etc.  It's not a simple job by any means but maybe the code in
perthread.h will provide a clue.

Thanks for your contribution, Craig!
