To avoid code duplication, add a parameter to rte_ctrl_thread_create()
to specify the name of the thread.
This requires to add a wrapper for the thread start routine in

This may be wrong, but perhaps instead of killing the thread outright, a 
better approach would be pthread_cancel? I'm always uneasy about mixing 
signals and pthreads...
