Cool, I was trying to figure out a way to do that also and what I did
was just use an Event object and Wait() on the thread (I also tried
calling Terminate() on the thread explicitly right after Start(), but
that didn't work). So if the thread you are trying to delete has
deferred cancellation set then the "current" thread will join on it,
hence waiting for it to hit a cancellation point?
