  51 By the way, this discussion brings up another problem. I wasn't able to\r
  52 write a test for this (to address the below concerns) because the test\r
  53 suite for thread-naming supplies some sort of auto-generated subject\r
  54 for threads with empty subjects. So we can't test behavior for dealing\r
  55 with empty subjects.\r
  56 \r
  57 Unfortunately, I don't know the history of the test suite, or why this\r
  58 auto-subject decisicion was made, so I don't feel comfortable just\r
  59 changing the behavior.\r
