      The current GetThreadStatus returns an ordinal indicating the thread status.
      What we have learned from this (and similar functionality) is that an ordinal
      return values break everytime a new state is added or more detail is provided.
      There is also no allowance for partial information -- for example, a VM may
      know it is waiting but not know further details.
