        Hi Jeremy,

        I was reading the README (or docs, or whatever it was) for CppUnit, and 
it's derived from JUnit, a test suite for Java.  In the notes it says 
that one of the things they left out was a threaded test case.  You 
might want to take a look at the original JUnit and see what they did 
(not that I'm saying what you've done is bad at all; heck, I haven't 
looked at either version yet :)
