    Ah right. But wasn't this already a potential problem and still after this 
change? the caller's call to `cancel()` may be just about to happen, when the 
old task finishes, thread is nulled, thread is set back to the same thread by 
the new task. `cancel()` would still affect the new task. If that's the race, I 
think another change would be needed to address it.
