Could someone please dispel my ignorance on the purpose of a couple of
Mach cthread calls?

I'm in the dark on the purpose/function of cthread_set_data() and
cthread_data() calls.  What does it mean to "associate" data with a
thread?  Some brief samples of how these calls are used would also help.

Response by mail preferred -- I'll post any received knowledge if
there's sufficient curiosity.
