kill a thread

[Skaperen]

in the past I used a trick with select statements

it looks like i will need to use select(). i will send something (icmp, udp) that bounces back and let select() wait the full (instead of counting one second timeouts) timeout for it. at least the remote host is my own server, so i can add or configure something there if i need to (that only answers if a time-based hash is just right).
