designed in this fashion ?!
Imagine your thread just allocated some memory and is killed. The memory will leak.
To prevent this, thread termination is done by queuing an APC to a thread, which will fire on return to user mode.
Since system thread never returns to user mode, this does not work for it.
BTW - UNIX has the same semantics for signals.
