Yeah, they look the same. I’m not sure what I can do to fix them if
they’re still happening.

Yeah, I think that’s because I, accidentally, have the non‐GUI version
trying to run some GUI stuff. I noticed this myself yesterday.

Running NS Emacs without a GUI has always worked with threads because
it just bypasses the NS run loop which is the problem.

I’ve attached a new patch that actually checks whether we’re running
the NS GUI.
