You're reading too much into that stack trace. Threads 2 and 3 both were created by library calls, probably to look up some relevant information or to be notified of device related events.  So no, nobody rewrote a utility that doesn't need threads to use them anyway.

I neither know nor care if the programmer was at fault or the manager who permitted it was at fault. In any case it is so stupid as to begger belief. Sadly I have seen many people do something similar.
