Hello everyone!
The test of ThreadGroup.Suspend() was reported to fail on rare occasions.
It can happen on a busy machine that 1 second delay would not be enough
for the second thread to start.
Then the first thread would suspend only itself and the test would fail.
Earlier, another test was updated for similar reasons [1], [2].
The proposed test can still report false *positive* results if the
second thread has had no chance to execute during one second after it
had started.
To avoid them there must be a way do distinguish suspended threads.
