     This sounds like the "green threads" model used in Old-Time Original
Java of a quarter-century ago.  Is Linux still stuck with that relic?
(IIRC there was a time when Linux sort of faked multi-threading by
running multiple processes, but I kind of thought "LinuxThreads" had
long since been replaced by "NPTL.")

     Anyhow: If you're right, that would explain why nobody runs Java
on Linux multi-core servers ...
