This is completely wrong. When the OP starts his threads, he is passing in all the information they require to function and he never needs to communicate with it again before it dies.

I clearly missed the point :-( I thought the OP problem was how to kill off the threads in the event of losing connection to the server, so that everything could be restarted again. If they were separate processes, then one would expect to kill each process. My understanding is that with threads there isn't an equivalent mechanism. So, that what you need is a way to tell each thread that it's time to terminate themselves -- which requires some form of communication.

I apologise without reservation if (a) I have misunderstood the point; and/or (b) misunderstood thread handling; and/or (c) failed to express what I intended.
