NXThreadCreate

I think I found a bug with my code.  I was calling NXThreadCreate with an 
active thread.  The call would not return from NXThreadCreate.  Since this 
is a guess on my part, does anyone know what would happen if I were to call 
NXThreadCreate with a context that was running on an active thread?

NXThreadCreate(lPBThread->myContext, NX_THR_DETACHED, 
&lPBThread->myThreadId);

It should return NX_EBUSY. Of course that is if indeed it is actually
active, which is not necessarily easy to discern.

This may be totally unhelpful, but I'm curious what 
lPBThread->myContext.ciState is just prior to the call.

I will  print to the screen prior to the API call and after.  My application 
can run from 3 day to 4 months without a problem then it just locks up. 
Iput a lot of screen prints to find out what I am doing wrong.  The last 
output to the screen was "Before Call Thread".

ScreenLogWrite("Before Call Thread");
lResult = NXThreadCreate(lPBThread->myContext, NX_THR_DETACHED, 
&lPBThread->myThreadId);
ScreenLogWrite("After Call Thread");

I added the logging and will post the results when the software locks up.
