The only method I have used to kill a thread is to send a user defined message
to your thread that tells it to die.  When your thread recieves the message,
have it terminate its own message loop.  Then do the proper cleaning up and
finally call DosExit.

There are probably other ways (semifores, etc) that could be used instead of
messages.
