I tried to fix this by not using SuspendThread at all.  Instead, there
is YA event (called sigCONT) which the process waits on.  Essentially we
were trying to synchronize using SuspendThread/ResumeThread and
Microsoft tells you that you shouldn't do that...  It shure would be
convenient if it was possible, though.  It would mean one less handle.

Oh well.

Anyway, I've checked in a change and am generating a new snapshot.
