		Chare is old english for chore -- the idea being that when work needs to be done rather than necessarily interupting an exisiting thread, a new thread (managed efficiently by the code rather than with OS overheads) is spawned to perform the task at the appropriate node.
		A chare may also be spawned when an existing chare becomes blocked because it is waiting for a critical message.
