pthreads works, sorta

[Steve Jorgensen]

OK, I'm over my head to even try to participate in this, but it seems to me 
that if you want to check for the condition where you can neither read nor 
write, and you can never write if you can't read, then you only need to 
check the read condition.  You only need to check the write condition if 
you need to distinguish between read-only and read/write.

Nope, write is the one :]

IIRC my cpu bits correctly there is a page bit for readonly, not page
bits for read and for write.

So writeable implies readable, readable does not imply writeable.
