Yes they are supposed to work and no they do not work. :(

With the recent score changes to have a pluggable scheduler
and capture "per cpu" information in a data structure so
we can have SMP one day, the names of some variables changed.

grep for _Thread_Executing.  It is now a macro that dereferences
the per cpu structure.

Every field in that per cpu structure has macros so the code
did not change but the underlying implementation did.

I am on holiday until after the first of the year but will try to
monitor email.  If you can put a patch together, it would be
appreciated.
