if the netware thread id is truly globally unique then you can use it
alone.
but on windows you'll need to use both getpid() and GetThreadID... i think
it's called something similar to that. it may be "Get Thread Handle" ...
what you really want is the thread * that create_thread returns, or you
could use the scoreboard slot, but i don't see an obvious way to get at
either. also -- add an extra field to unique_id_rec for the thread id.
