MzScheme (and things that run on it, e.g., DrScheme & MrEd) has threads. See:
http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/doc/mzscheme/node86.htm
for information about its threads, semaphores, and namespaces, etc.

ftp://ftp.cs.rice.edu/public/languages/plt/mzscheme/mzscheme.src.tar.gz
for the source

http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/mzscheme/compiled.html
for pre-compiled binaries for various systems (SGI, DEC, Sun,
HP, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows 95 & NT, Macintosh).
