[Click] Click Spinlock Question

[Beyers Cronje]

Hi David,

Can you post some of your code and a simple config that procudes problems
for you? I'm running user-level click in multithreaded mode with Spinlocks
quite successfully when running the latest code from git that includes
recent multithreading fixes.
