Two answers:
No - this is how Linux implements native threads
Yes - this is how Linux implements native threads
:-)
Linux native threads are just processes that share resources (memory/files/etc)
with each other. Each thread will be its own "process" in "ps" or "top"
This also means that the total number of threads in all running programs
can never be more than the process table limit in your machine (which is
defined at kernel compile time)
