SMP support is under development.  It works somewhat, but isn't
stable.  Personally, I don't care for SMP very much until I have an
SMP system myself... ;-)

I don't think everything has been updated for SMP support yet.  This
certainly does look suspect, though.

Not just yet, but it will be available very soon.
