Just as an aside, killing or suspending threads other than your own
is dangerous and probably shouldn't be done, anyway.  Suppose,
for example, that the thread in question *holds* some critical semaphore?  
By suspending the thread, you are making it easy to create a deadlock.

In order to avoid this deadlock, you often end up having to have some sort of
semaphore that signals whether a thread is suspend-able or not.  But if
you have to implement such a semaphore anyway, you can also just use the
semaphore to cause the process to suspend directly.


So in short,  it doesn't look like this is a bug that seriously needs
fixing.....
