Their meaning is platform-specific; they're usually something that
will be recognized by programmers familiar with the OS in question.
On native Linux, they're the same as pthread_self would return.
I think they're just LWP IDs when using gdbserver; we had trouble
passing NPTL thread IDs over the remote protocol.
