      *      This function requests cancellation of 'thread'.

      * PARAMETERS
      *      thread

      * DESCRIPTION
      *      This function requests cancellation of 'thread'.

      *                wait for termination of 'thread' if necessary.
      *

      *              ESRCH           no thread found corresponding to 'thread',
