Hi,

the parameter provided to --thread is not checked. If an invalid value is
inserted, it will crash.

Here it can be checked if nr_threads is > 0. Otherwise, print an error message
epxlaining the reason and return an error.
nr_threads can be 0 if the user inserts out-of-range CPUs in the spec, e.g. 
"--threads=15/17" on a 4 CPU machine.
