Ah, ok, so we don't use a common shared pool between isolated processes then,
thats good.  Still though, this is a sample application, I think its lazy
programming practice to illustrate to application developers that its generally
ok to exit programs without freeing your resources.  Its about 20 lines of
additional code to change the sigint handler to flag an exit condition, and have
all the other threads join on it.
