It is my understanding that threading is a sore topic in most common lisps having either poor or experimental support. I'd love to be proved wrong, however.

Most Common Lisp implementations have had good threading support for years now, at least on the implementation's primary platforms.
The threading APIs, however, are all different -- not necessarily in any deep way, but in incidental ways like function names and signatures. There's a package Bordeaux-Threads that provides a portable API layer on top of the various implementation-specific APIs.
All these problems are fixed. Most implementations provide stable threading on most platforms.
