I would think that it is easier to maintain the code when keep the 1
hard coded, and apply the following diff instead. If we encounter
a 0 later on, it is not clear what the original user input was.
(Did the user ask for 0 as a proxy for GREP_NUM_THREADS_DEFAULT ?
do they care about the number of threads?)
It is less complexity in the decision logic here.

If I've understood you correctly (what I applied on top of this based
on the above at the end of the mail) this segfaults because now we
won't compile the pattern.
I agree that this logic is a bit tricky, but it must be considered
with the "!num_threads" logic in preceding "grep: don't redundantly
compile throwaway patterns under threading" patch.
I.e. we already have num_threads being assigned to 0 under
NO_PTHREADS, doing the same for the PTHREADS codepath seemed like the
simplest solution to me.
