Comment (by AndywinXp):

 Thanks for the detailed response! Unfortunately I have tried in my
 previous experiments force the palette fades to be single threaded, but I
 found it to be next to impossible, given how the main loop is structured
 (for instance, by design it is full of busy waits).

 As for timing accuracy, I understand the concern; but for now it is
 important that the game doesn't crash while running code which is supposed
 to be there. I will definitely begin comparing timings between DOS and
 ScummVM once all the changes I've made are perfectly stable.

 So I'll give a crack at ensuring thread safeness by fixing all these crash
 reports :-)
