Please test: MPSAFE callouts

[Edwin Brown]

I've compiled and been running it on a hypertrheaded box for two days
along with the carp patches posted to Stable. I've put it through some
basic tests. Nothing interesting. Today's the big testing day. I'll
post anything exciting or not  to the list.


Best Regards,

Edwin
