Okay, so we all know it isn't possible to kill threads cleanly and
safely in any kind of cross-platform way. At the same time, a program
that has a thread running haywire should be able to kill itself
completely, so that a monitoring process can restart it. How hard would
it be to do only that in a cross-platform way?
I'm guessing that for Unix, we'd just send a hard signal (9 or 15). No
clue what would need to happen for Windows and Mac.
(This got brought up because I experimented with os._exit() as a
possible solution, but that GPFs on Win98SE.)
