Your program makes a call to "THREADjoin," which is not defined in Brown
Threads, from which Encore Parallel Threads was derived.  (This routine was
probably added as part of a C-threads compatibility package).  If you replace
"THREADjoin" with "THREADwaitforchild", your code will work (at least it does
at Brown).
