New submission from Brian Brazil <brian.bra...@gmail.com>:

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/threading.html

"Roughly, a thread is alive from the moment the start() method returns until 
its run() method terminates."

Using "Roughly" in relation to threading is a bit unspecific. I've had a look 
through _bootstrap_inner() and attached a patch to clarify this.
