Re: Terminating threads in a process, WAS: RE: [PATCH] Problems with MPM threaded

Normally this would be done (in POSIX) with pthread_cancel(), passing it
the pthread_t from the other thread.

Unfortunately, this is not a part of APR because many of the current OS
implementations of this mechanism will leak resources (aparently in the
kernel), and that is bad.
