Burner is a silly little program.  It simply forks off
some number of threads, each of which spins in a tight
loop for some number of iterations, prints a number
which identifies the thread, and exits.  Here are the
options:

-q<num>		preemption quantum in milliseconds
		default: no time slicing

-s<num>		how many loop iterations for each thread
		default: 500,000

-t<num>		how many "burner" threads
		default: 5

-n<num>		how many processors to use
		default: 1

Burner serves well as a simple-minded test/demo for
time-sliced preemption.  If you run it with more threads
than processors and a nonzero quantum, and all the threads
exit "at the same time" then preemption is working.
