The call to set the thread name on Win32 platforms is done by the parent thread, after _beginthreadex() returns. At this point the new child thread is potentially already executing its start method. To ensure the thread name is guaranteed to be set before any "interesting" code starts executing, it must be done in the start method of the child thread itself.
