    Is this in an error condition only? Or is the supposed to be part of 
normal operation? You can't signal them because they could cease to exist 
in-between when you decide to signal them and when you signal them. You 
cannot interact safely with another pthread directly unless you control (or 
at least have knowledge of) its lifetime.
