This is not needed. Calling the Mib::init() is sufficient.

Deleting the Mib instance will also store all data to disk. So the above
is not needed, but it is in some way more save.

Call Mib::init() before the main loop. Catch termination signals
in the main loop. Wait after main loop until all threads terminated
(thus, the request list is empty) and then call "delete myMib".

When you want to save data during runtime, then you can call
Mib::save_all() from the main loop.
