Hi,

my program runs under *nix and windows, I'm using POSIX threads.
For clearance, I report two small peace of code:

void *
thread_timer(void *parg)
{		
	sleep(200);
	pthread_exit(NULL);
	return NULL;
}

void *
thread_execute(void *parg)
{
	pthread_cancel(thread_id_of_timer_thread);
	pthread_exit(NULL);
}

After thread_execute calls pthread_cancel, I thought that the thread would be
cancelled: instead thread_timer exists only when 200 seconds are passed.
I could now rewrite my question: how can I put to sleep a thread and interrupt
its execution? :-)
