[LCP]multithreaded ideas?

[Aaron Walker]

Hello,

I just finished reading "Advanced Linux Programming" and am looking to 
implement what I've read about threads.  I've been racking my brain all 
night trying to think of a program I could write to help learn threads, 
but have come up with nothing. I'm looking for some input about a 
program I could write, to help me learn, but at the same time something 
that would actually benefit from using threads and have a real-world 
use.  Please let me know if anyone has any input on such learning projects.

Thanks,
A. Walker
