Ok, thanks everybody!

Threads are like the Sorcerer's Apprentice. You can start 'em, but you
cannot stop 'em ;-)

Of course you can stop threads.  Just call _exit().  No more threads!

I don't think Mickey Mouse knew about that call, otherwise he'd have
used it. Either that, or he had a completely saturated system and
couldn't type anything at the console, so it took the wizard's SSH
session to deal with the problem using "kill -9".


Denial-of-service, the traditional way.
