The downside to this is that threads must defensively assume you _might_ kill individual ones. Presumably in the Solaris model, they can be written to be codependent? I'm thinking of things like mutexes and so on.
You could always bring up the debugger to mess with an individual thread. You'd have to do that for anything that's not a system-defined thread but a user-defined one anyway.
