Both the Interactive Shell and the Debug Probe stop all threads when at 
a prompt waiting for input from the user.  We realize that this isn't 
the expected behavior for the interactive shall and will be fixing it in 
future Wing versions.  The (ugly) workaround is to run multithreaded 
code in the debugger.
