Yes, you do need to call scheme_check_threads to get non-main thread to 
run. But if your main thread calls a "scheme_eval_string_all", or during 
a call to (nearly) anything provided by mzscheme, they will do the yield.

In conclusion, scheme_check_threads is only needed when you want 
non-main Scheme thread to run when your main thread is running your OWN 
C code.
