try this:
if (!fork()) {UITHREAD();exit(0);}
that will spawn a new process, and send it to UITHREAD() to execute. Should
that function return, that thread will exit.
this is 'stock unix' stuff... I'm not certain it will work under windows even
if you use GCC... but it certainly works on unix systems...
