/* This programme shows the effects of 'heavy' long-running functions
 * on the cooperative threading model, as demonstrated by heavy.c, and how
 * they can be mitigated using a background thread.
 *
 * Run it with a config file containing 'password whatever', telnet to it
 * (it defaults to port 4000) and enter the 'clear foo string' command.
 * then type whatever and observe that, unlike heavy.c, the vty interface
 * remains responsive.
