We can't possibly make this work as originally requested. To preserve object identity across thread creation and joining would require maintaining the pointer table linking the threads, with the pointer table owning refs to everything it knows about, which would prevent anything from being freed in the parent thread. The documentation about this was poor, though. I've revised it in commit 27d3197f2b90b3534ea74a96fc7e37200baeb9b7, removing the obsolete caveats about crashing and about subs generally not working, and adding some discussion of the object identity issue raised in this ticket. -zefram
