Well, there are still some issues left:
1.) what happens if StartThread() get's never called?
    Deadlock at childTidChanged.Wait().
2.) what happens if StartThread() returns before the Wait() is reached?
    Deadlock at childTidChanged.Wait().

So some error checking and an additional variable for indicating whether 
StartThread() returned already will be necessary and maybe a 
TimedWait(), too.

Bye.
