    }                                                                         
    
    s = thread_id->str;
    for (i = 0; i < NOTMUCH_THREAD_ID_DIGITS; i += 8) {                       
    value = rand ();
    sprintf (s, "%08x", value);                                               
    s += 8;                                                                   
    }
}

so it works fine for you, however I have no idea which thread you are
talking about.

Thanks,
