[Sussex] Threads

[The ol' tealeg]

Now now chaps, it's obvious:

The two threads are indeed distinct threads (and this is yet a third
one), however they are all threads witihin the same process (that
process being a discussion of threads) and share the same memory space
(this being one important way in which a thread is distinguished
(conceptually) from a process).  The real questions here is this:

If this thread of discussion blocks (As it presumably will once I send
this e-mail the thread will block until further input from a SLUG member
is revieved on the subject), will that block the entire process (and
thus all other threads) or merely this thread?
