Chapter 11- typo/reword

[tuna15]

Might need to reword the sentence in bold below.

"The solution to this problem, in a synchronous system, is to start additional threads of control. A thread is another running program whose execution the operating system may interleave with other programs—since most modern computers contain multiple processors, multiple threads may even run at the same time, on different processor. A second thread could start the second request, and then both threads wait for their results to come back, after which they resynchronize to combine their results."

Why do you think that?

[tuna15]

It was a bit awkward while reading last night but not as much so on rereading this morning.

Perhaps- "A thread is another program whose execution is interleaved with other programs by the operating system -..." or " A thread is another program whose execution by the operating system my interleave with other programs..."

[marijnh]

How about whose execution may be interleaved with other programs by the operating system?

[tuna15]

Great. That reads much easier to me.

Done in attached patch!
