SUMMARY: When you attempt to start a thread, and you're unable to (you
get thread.error) it leaves a thread stuck in an "initial" state that
never exits. (threading.enumerate() shows the threads and lists their
status as "initial.")

REPRODUCTION STEPS: See attached file.

EXPECTED RESULT: Failing to start a thread should not leave the thread
in an un-executable state. I would expect the thread start to either
succeed or result in the thread being closed and GC'd.
