What do you believe happens with a thread when you execute a function 
that only returns "dword(-1)" and does nothing else? :)

Take a look at Jonas code excerpt from "rtl/unix/cthreads.pp" again and 
you'll see that the call to "pthread_kill" in CSuspendThread is disabled 
and has a big comment before it.
