+- Issue #7222: Make thread "reaping" more reliable so that reference
+ leak-chasing test runs give sensible results. The previous method of
+ reaping threads could return successfully while some Thread objects were
+ still referenced. This also introduces a new private function:
+ :func:`_thread._count()`.

longer runs the risk of causing the worker thread to fail.
