I'd use ether an MPQueue or a FIFO protected by a POSIX mutex/condition. The
thread just stuffs the pointer into the queue/FIFO and your main plugin
routine checks the queue/FIFO to see if anything is in it; If so it pulls it
out and deletes it when it's done with it.
If you'd like to see the Multiprocessing routines written using the POSIX
API's check out my sample at:
