+ * have been made for multiple threads to use this module at the same time,

+ * fine but a program with two threads using forms will probably crash (unless
+ * the program takes precaution to ensure that only one thread can be in
+ * this module at any time). This will have to be fixed some time.
+ * (A fix will probably also have to synchronise with the gl module).
