Not yet. Large parts of the code needs to be redesigned if a
multithreaded Squid is to become a reality. Local static variables is
used all over the place, and quite often as return buffers.

also, strtok_r is less portable than strtok.

I think the most likely path Squid will take for MP systems is a
multi-process path, not a multithreaded one. It is possible to get close
to the same performance, and a multi-process design has added value in
fault recovery.
