My code makes a call to a 3rd party library (not mine) that issues an
NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: call. It's this call that hangs the
show if it can't reach the URL specified. So I thought I might invoke
it in its own thread and kill it if it hangs. Is there a better way,
without mucking with the 3rd party library?

Wouldn't it be better to handle the error that's causing the hang
from within the offending thread? What's the point of encapsulation
if objects keep manipulating each other?

How does one kill an NSThread from another thread? As I read the
documentation, it seems possible only from within the thread, by
calling MPExit(). If I have a thread that hangs, I'd like to kill
it from another thread, but I don't see an API to do this.
NSThread doesn't return a thread id or descriptor, so how does
one manage them?
