  sge:280$ ocaml
          Objective Caml version 3.04

  # #load "str.cma";;
  Cannot load required shared library: dynamic loading not supported on this platform.

  sge:281$ ./throcaml -I +threads
          Objective Caml version 3.04

  # Thread.create;;
  - : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> Thread.t = <fun>

Thanks for the tip.
