Hmm, but the compiler I'm using right now is a 2.4 and I think there is a
leak if I don't call closethread. CloseThread was implemented for
EndThread or how does it get called? I think the closethread has to be
called outside the thread rather than inside the thread from what I tried,
but I don't know.
