 Ah.  Figured it out.  Not a bug in fltk, it seems.
 
 fltk can optionally be compiled with threads enabled.  If you disable
 fltk's threads, xdiskusage works as is.  If you have threads enabled for
 fltk, you must compile xdiskusage with -pthread (or probably at least
 -lc_r or -DREENTRANT).  Otherwise xdiskusage uses the ordinary stdio calls
 from libc and it doesn't correctly interact with the locking that's being
 done by fltk's threading stuff, resulting in a hang.
 
 I'll leave it to you to figure out the best way of implementing this in
 the makefile...
 
 Thanks!
