+When creating $THREADS data it may end of not having 'None' at all\r
+or the numbers in line output yields a loop.\r
+\r
+To avoid loop the value in current array index is set to 'None'\r
+so that if the same item is reached again the loop will end.\r
+\r
+Also empty string as next array index will end the loop.\r
