I've got a program here which, under some conditions of testing, ends up
with a thread stuck inside a system call (detail: a mainframe emulator,
which is still trying to read a damaged punched card when the operator
hits the power-off button).
Is there a way of sending an unambiguous system-level kill signal to a
thread? KillThread(ThreadID) doesn't appear to be brutal enough, and I'm
unsure of the correct way to access pthread_kill().
