I've written 'pthread-ed' AGIs in C.

The only 'pthread related' limitation I stumbled into is that you can only 
execute a single AGI request at a time -- which is kind of obvious if you 
understand the AGI protocol.

My use case was playing a file ('Please wait while we authorize your 
credit card') while processing the credit request.

Since our card processor almost always returned the credit response before 
the end of the file, the 'user experience' was that the credit request was 
instantaneous.
