This one seems most natural.  Maybe the server should wait
for the context to be stored before returning from SuspendThread.
I bet on Windows, the target thread is really suspended
before SuspendThread returns, and this would ensure that behavior.

Maybe if we do this right, we can get rid of the racy looking loop
at the top of test_SuspendThread() in dlls/kernel/tests/thread.c ...
or is that loop needed on Windows, too?
