GUI.LoadTheme() crash in multithreaded app

I have a multifile project.
There is a main file, which opens the gui wrapper (this one is the real core, encapsulating game state, configuration, game IO stuff, etc.), the game instance object, the game map object and so on.
Every class includes its own init() method, so it's filled with all needed parameters, interacting between them where necessary.
The Incbin "Skins.zip" is done into gui wrapper class, just after the imports.

EDIT: I only include "Skins.zip", in the whole project.

What about using Example 1?  If you only do zip but not incbin, does it work?

[Corum]

No, it doesn't.

[TaskMaster]

No, it doesn't.

Hmmm...

Must be something about the zipstream module multi-threading and mac.  Makes me wonder if it works on Linux or not?!?!

The strange fact is it doesn't work even under WinXP. Ok, it's emulated, but with Parallels Desktop I can run almost everything but 3D games.
Can I ask on Blitzmax boards ifsoGUI users too?
I would ask to compile the example #1 in MT mode.

Sure.  I am not sure if there are any other mac ifsoGUI owners.

Wait, I just realized that we were not testing for zip when I tested in MT.  It fails in Windows too.  I will take a look at this and see if I can fix it.  But, it looks like a zipstream issue which will need to be looked at by Koriolis.

[Corum]

Phew... I'm almost gone crazy.
Glad this proved I'm not mad yet.
See you.

[TaskMaster]

Yep, definitely a bug/conflict in the zipstream module when using multi-threading.  There is nothing I can do about it.

Maybe you can try to knock up and simple example using only the zipstream module to cause the error so it can be presented to Koriolis.  I will look at doing it, but I can't mess with it while at work.
