I sent a patch to get it to auto-detect multi-core machines, but I see
now that it was commented upon for finalization (by Nicolas, actually)
and I must have missed that, thinking it had been applied because I got
an accidental merge in my own tree.

As such, I've been using that patch the last several months without
problems. I'll rework them as per Nicolas' suggestions and resend.
