But that is my whole point, it does a lot of the time, and it depends on
whether you are working with named functions and delegates or with
anonymous functions and delegates.

OK, so this is looking like the nudge that anonymous was also talking
about, but from a different viewpoint. It seems there is implicit
behaviour going on here that is creating right royal confusion on the
part of at least one programmer, me.

The parameter I think I am passing to thread construction is sometimes,
but not mostly, not the parameter the Thread constructors are receiving.
This looks like it is going to violate the Principle of Least
Surprise :-(
