Sure this isn't supposed to be 'curr_tid'?  task_seq_get_next() stops
when there are no more threads found.  This increments the thread id
past the search point, and would seem to introduce a potential off-by-one 
error.

That is:
   curr_tid = 3000. 
   call task_seq_get_next() --> return NULL, curr_tid = 3000.
      (so there is no tid >= 3000)
   set curr_tid = 3001.  

   next restart (if there is one) skips a newly created 3000.
