We used to have to do the same thing for CLI.
On Linux and Solaris (at least), as soon as you link
with the thread library, you would always get a main
thread (even if you hadn't created any subsidiary threads).
So we would suppress the "info threads" display unless
there was more than one thread.

Or so I seem to recall...
