+termination</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>The death of a thread (and any subsequent notifications etc.) is effectively
+just an indication that the thread will never execute any more code; it does
+not guarantee that the operating system has yet finished removing the thread. </p>
+<p>When a thread terminates, the operating system cleans up all resources
+still allocated to the thread; this includes closing any sessions which it
+had open. Closing a session involves notifying the other party in the session
+that the thread has disconnected so that it can do its own cleanup; the operating
+system needs to keep the dead thread's data structures until all of this disconnection
+activity has finished. </p>
+<p>If a thread terminates, there may be a period of time during which any
+attempt to create a new thread of the <i>same</i> name fails with <codeph>KErrAlreadyExists</codeph>. </p>
