I think you do need to check `new_thread != NULL` here to please Parfait for 
`default:` case.

Really?  We have this sort of code everywhere.  We don't check the result of a 
new expression anywhere else.

It isn't the result of the new expression that needs checking. The switch statement has a default: clause which calls ShouldNotReachHere(). IIRC Parfait does not understand things like ShouldNotReachHere() never return, and so it thinks "new_thread" may still be NULL if we followed the default: path through the switch.

I will restore this NULL check with a comment.

Thanks,
David
