Just in case that chill is starting to go away, please remember that
the kids who are learning C from tutorials like that today, are the
ones who will be writing the programs that go into automobiles and
airplanes and nuclear weapons in the next generation.  That chill
coming back yet?

Sorry about that.  :)  OK, maybe this will make you feel better:

int main()
{
    int t;
    pthread_t th[10];
    int args[10];

    for (t=0; t<10; t++) {
      args[t] = t;
      pthread_create(&th[t], NULL, thr_main, (void*) &args[t]); }
}

Ahhh, sanity at last...  (Or at least as much as you can expect from
C...)
