    You can do so any way you like with the cooperation of the thread you 
would like to suspend or resume. Without the cooperation of that thread, it 
simply cannot be done safely. There would be essentially nothing you could 
do between the suspend and the resume.

    Usually when people ask this question, they are barking up the wrong 
tree. Why do you think you need to suspend a thread?
