I think Tid.id returning the MessageBox address would be fine for 
logging purposes.  The main value is being able to distinguish 
messages coming in at the same time from multiple threads.  Even 
if a MessageBox address was re-used by a new receive()er after a 
previous one exited I doubt it would confuse users very much.  I 
thing that a doc on Tid.id like "this value will not be the same 
as any other Tid currently existing, but might be the same as a 
Tid that has exited previously" would be sufficient.
