Could I ask you how you create your thread? I'm using multi- threading with modal window without any issues.
The only issues with runModal i know is that by default, the modal run loop handle only a small subset of run loop sources that does not include network sources for example (so NSURLDownload will not process wil a modal window is running).
But with a multi-threaded application, this is not a problem as each thread has is own runloop and should no be affected by other thread activity.

As I said, it is a cooperative thread, not a preemptive thread. It is created with

NewThread(kCooperativeThread, ...

The preemptive threads created with MP... work fine

Sorry to post one more time about this topic. After a couple of test, it look like this problem occurs only when you mix Carbon and Cocoa. With pur Cocoa it works well, but I did a small use case using Carbon and it effectively does not work as expected.
