That's correct.  In multithreaded mode, your program will be able to have 
multiple threads running at the same time (e.g. you can use the muscle 
MessageTransceiverThread class).  In single-threaded mode, the compiler 
assumes that you will only ever use a single thread (the one that starts in 
main()) and therefore it doesn't bother to implement any locking/unlocking of 
shared resources.  That gives you code that will run a little more 
efficiently (since it doesn't have to lock/unlock things), but it will not 
work correctly if your program tries to run multiple threads.
