    I'm a bit confused.  TIDs are (and have to be) user visible.  After all,
    how else do you signal a LWP?
You don't, only the threading library does (why would you as user signal a thread?).  And the threading lib knows which thread is dead and which one is alive (it actually even presents different pthread_thread_id than the lwp_id to the user program).
