My solution is, and always will be, to put the input buffer in its own 
thread, and send it between threads via an ITC::Pipe :)

Stefan: ITC::Pipe is context-switch proof !

Order now, for only $19.95, we'll give a thread safe pipe, a threading API.

(lower! Lower!, the audience shouts)

Well, how could I possibly reduce the price any more than that?

(a few chairs fly at the spokesperson)

Ok, ok, we'll lower the price.  How about $10.00, and i'll throw in a 
Remote-Thread-procedure-call system too?

(shouting "lower", etc, including chairs, maybe some rotten fruit)

Always, I'll give this all to you for free!  That's right Free!  Gratis!

(everyone runs to their phone and places their order)

Too far? :)
