Comment (by danobrega@…):

 The only workaround we found is storing the thread objects and when the
 application cleanup is not invoked gracefully we cycle through all threads
 and invoke the system function TerminateThread to put them out of their
 misery. It's not pretty, but it keeps the owning application from hanging.
