You can't suspend threads like this because SuspendThread can
hang in some situations, like when a thread is doing I/O.  That's why
there is a WaitForSingleObject here rather than just suspending the
thread.

It is not a perfect solution, obviously but this will just cause people
to complain about multi-threaded processes hanging after they hit CTRL-Z.
