Unfortunately, the comp sci department here had us using pipes to
communicate between threads (wonderfully confusing), and I've only just
worked out there are easier ways *grumble*

Well, I'm not actually using a multi-processor box, I'm mostly writting it
multi-threaded for the experience. I also don't have a telnet daemon
running. But I'd imagine the kernel would allocate it to a processor, as
necessary, and it would use the processor whenever there was processing to
be done?
