    Yah.  In fact, demonstration code for this or that might be 
something
    good to throw into /usr/src/test.  Or maybe /usr/src/examples, then
    reference it from the web site or on the lists.
		
Cool.... So I have been gleefully digging through the thread code as it 
seems important to
understand that before trying to message a thread :)...  I noticed the 
kernel has a way to get
the current thread very easily via some macros and functions.

Is there any way a user can just find out what his current thread is?  
I presume every process
has at least 1 of these things or a lot of what I am reading in the 
kernel doesn't look like it
would work very well.
