Oops, please ignore my other reply to this post. I didn't grab the
start_new_thread() result, but instead grabbed the result of
thread.get_ident() and stored that. The docs claim this is not a value
that necessarily relates to anything in the outside world ("Return the
`thread identifier' of the current thread. This is a nonzero integer.
Its value has no direct meaning; it is intended as a magic cookie ...")
so if it happens to match the thread id from the OS's point of view,
it's an implementation detail you couldn't rely on.
So the general idea I gave might be useful, but I don't know precisely
how to do exactly what you are asking. Sorry.
