IMHO the help text should be:

Same here:

Wrong comment, use:

Also remove comment, it is talking about CPU_THREADS

This is sort of bad-shell coding. This will first get expanded at the
usage point. The way you use it, it will work, because of the for loop
uses an expansion like "((xxx))".
If you echo the $L_THREAD variable you will see: "1 + 0 - 1"
IMHO the right thing is to use:
export L_THREAD=$(( THREADS + F_THREAD - 1 ))
(I tested this also works for dash + ksh + zsh)

The expansion/use of $L_THREAD only works because "for-loop" expanded
it by using ""(("" arithmetic evaluation.
