: I have been considerring adding a td_desc
: field to threads to be used in teh same way...

Timing Solutions has been using the 'name a thread' feature in libc_r
for a long time.  We've also implemented thread accounting in libc_r
(at least primitive cpu time), so we know which thread is running
amuck.  This has proven invaluable in identifying where to concentrate
our debugging efforts.
