This is an abuse of pthread_t - it is explicitly not guaranteed in the spec
that pthread_t is an integer type, or even a scalar type; it's permitted to
be a structure. The only valid operations on pthread_t values are assignment
and passing to functions (including pthread_equal() for equality comparison).
