+Summary: Thread not disposed if Start not called
+
+Compile and run the attached test-19.cs sent by Derek McUmber.
+From another terminal: ps aux | grep mono (or whatever)
+
+You'll see that all those threads that are created but on which Start is
+not called are there, consuming memory and doing nothing.
+
+I created the attached test-19-small.cs which show the same problem.
+
+The question, Dick, is if we can delay CreateThread until th.Start() is
+actually called (a patch is provided) or if we have any other means for the
+GC to know that these objects are out of scope and finalize them.
