Only call thread_detachThis() if you initialized the thread object via thread_attachThis(). Otherwise just discard the reference and let it clean itself up. The reason for the "do not delete" restriction is because the thread objects are tracked internally by the GC, and they must remain in a correct state until the GC has recognized that they have terminated.
