doesn't the semantics of the term "maximum" imply that it's own value is also
valid?

if a sign says maximum weight 2000kg, does that mean that a weight of 2000kg is
invalid and the highest valid weight is 1999,999..kg?

so the main process counts as 1 thread and for each pthread_create invokation
the thread number gets bumped up?

so with a process doing a single pthread_create() that would imply this process
is having a thread count of 2?

cheers.
