How so?

Just leave some panic instances in there for thread-related stuff and 
fix them up in the next patch.

Also, i'm not sure sending threads into an infinite loop on panic is 
such a good idea. You might want to look at Olivier's approach [1] to 
creating threads, using pthread_barriers and pthread_kill/cancel.

This does warrant a separate patch now :)
