If this is also a debug build, some extra debugging functions are included in the build, including "dumpThread(ThreadNode *node)". These are intended to be called from gdb, or possibly from somewhere in the debug agent implementation, to aid with debugging. When dumpThread() prints the thread's name, it just uses the name that was stored when the thread was created. However, the thread name can change, so dumpThread() should really fetch the current thread name and print it.
