killing a thread

["Kalyanaraman, Sivakumar (CTS)" <KSiva@chn.COGNIZANT.COM>]

hi,
i have a situation where i am need to kill a thread that has been suspended
using pthread_suspend_np.
if i say pthread_delete_np() i get the following error :

timed out in pthread_delete_np

how can this be done ?? 
the code is something like this

pthread_t my_thread;


void thread_fn(void *)
{

while(1)
	{
	pthread_suspend_np(my_thread);
	pthread_testcancel();
	if (...) /* code when woken up */
	}
}

init_module()
{
	pthread_create(&my_thread,...);
}


cleanup_module()
{
	pthread_delete_np(my_thread);
}


thanks,

siva
