PyThread_get_thread_ident, having no parameters, always returns the
thread id of the calling thread. If you want the thread id of the new
thread, you need to invoke PyThread_get_thread_ident inside of the new
thread.

BTW, in Python 2.2, start_new_thread does return the thread id of the
new thread.
