MX2 already does a fairly good job of simple multi-tasking.  What we
need to be able to do is multi-task in GEM.  Right now, the machine will 
crash because the GEM code cannot be reentred when it is being used (it
uses global rather than local variables).  To multi-task with real ST
applications, you would have to at least save all of the internal GEM
variables with every context switch.
