Threads don't get notes. Processes do. The function you
register with threadnotify will run in the same proc that
got the note, and if that proc was in a system call, that
system call will have been interrupted, regardless of which
thread inside the proc was running the system call.
If your code looks like:
alarm(10);
read();
alarm(0);
then you can be sure that your thread's read is the one that
will be interrupted should the alarm go off.

Depends on what you mean by this. If you mean when
the user types Delete to kill a program, that turns into
a "interrupt" note.
