Unfortunately for us, the word 'thread' has been in common use in the AS/400
arena for a while.  In this context, it means 'job', as in 'multi-threaded
job queue' allows multiple jobs to process simultaneously.  The discussion
at hand is about Unix threads, which are parallel processes running in the
same job.  Imagine having an application that loads up a dozen arrays, sorts
them and then prints them out.  You could conceptually spawn 12 threads from
your program where each thread loads an array and sorts it.  As each thread
completes, it has to notify the main thread that it is complete.  Then the
main thread prints the arrays.  All in one program, all parallel tasks.
