Thanks for clearing it up, Marc.

As a side note, however, allow me to point that this sounds like a
severe
limitation for an OS - we are living in the multicore era. Both Linux
and Windows
are able to allocate threads to different cores automatically, where
as apparently
OpenBSD can only do things in parallel if you "fork". A lot of
packages are
using threads...

Just my 2c.

Thanassis.
