Getting pthread names

[Jan Knepper]

I think the pthread_set_name_np(3) function is for debugging (reporting) 
purposes.

The names show up when you use 'procstat', 'top', 'ps', etc.

If you want to give a thread a name and use that name later in code why 
not keep that internally in you thread management structures/code and 
use that same name in the call to pthread_set_name_np?
