Why do you need OS _threads_ for this? It should be sufficient to fork
_processes_ and let the underlaying OS distribute those over the processors,
shouldn't it?

How does this conflict look? I ask, because Pth uses SIGUSR1 1. only
temporarily and 2. only if a new thread is spawned. So, is it really
conflicting there? OTOH if you have this conflict you can easily use SIGUSR2
if you want. Just replace all occurrances of SIGUSR1 with SIGUSR2 in
pth_mctx.c and recompile Pth. SIGUSR1 is nowhere else hard-coded.
