Have the thread call sleep() or use a semaphore or mutex.  If you want to suspend a thread and have it be interruptable use a mutex combined with a condition variable (from core.sync).

It doesn't interrupt the sleep() call if the thread is sleeping.  join() simply waits for the thread to terminate normally.
