 * This demo shows how to create a static thread and how to terminate it
 * after some period of time.
 * A GTimer is used to termiate the thread.
 *
 * Note: The GOS API does not provide any function to terminate or kill a thread
 *       as not every operating system allows it to terminate a thread out
 *       from another one. Therefore, we use the parameters to implement a
 *       "fall over the edge" algorithm.
