[PlanetCCRMA] OpenMusic 4.7.2.beta released

[Francois Dechelle]

To explain you a bit more what is happening with OpenMusic on Fedora...

You can't quit using usual commands (either menu or lisp listener). The
program hangs and the only way to terminate it is by a signal.

This seems related to a threads problem. Once MidiShare is loaded,
threads are created to handle the MidiShare callbacks. Fedora core 1
thread library is nptl (Native POSIX Thread Library), but the CMUCL that
is used and packaged is a binary version that has *not* been compiled
using nptl, but the old one. I don't know if there are major
incompatibilities between the 2, but my guess is that is the reason of
the problem.
