>>> Hello Mike. Thanks so much for your pipe suggestion. It looks very
interesting and I will study it promptly. I'll let you know how it
goes.

>>> Funny that you mention this, because this precisely is the patch I
implemented this morning. It isn't very elegant, however, and I'll
likely give the old pipes a try. It does seem to work though but there
is an interesting artifact that I noticed. Perhaps you can shed some
light on it. Although the threads seem to end and detach properly, when
subsequent threads are launched they don't seem to use thread id's that
have been consequently re-opened. This gives the impression that the
older threads have not truly closed, but unless you tell me I'm wrong,
I'm assuming that they have.
Cheers,
Steve
