Threading seems to work well enough that I won't pursue a MacOS X  
kext ("device driver") ... which I really didn't want to do anyway  
but I'm sure it would have taken care of the issues I've run into.   
The code isn't perfect yet, and I still have some speed tweaks to  
work in, but the example "benchmark_usb.py" now always returns OK for  
16 MBps instead of "usually" for 4 MBps.

Q: As USRP does not yet use the omnithread package (though it's  
included in the config directory and just commented out of  
configure.ac), and that package is part of the gnuradio-core library  
which in theory the USRP should not depend upon, could we make  
omnithread a separate library?  Or should I just go ahead and change  
things to link using "-lgnuradio-core" (and thus "-I/usr/local/ 
include/gnuradio" too? - MLD
