[sword-devel] Search thread saftey

In BibleTime we experienced starnge problems using the existing SWMgr object 
for searches in a new thread.
If I remember right, there were problems with locales and VerseKey, because 
AFAIK it uses global members which are not allowed in threads.
In BibleTime we wen't back to use no threads but the normal timer driven GUI 
repaint stuff of Qt. Works better :)
And I think the search progress calculation didn't work in a threaded 
environment.
