Chad,
It is acctually very simple, I only start one thread at the time and I join the thread after a relatively short period of time. Something like this:

start thread
do some stuff
join thread with timeout

The thread code is something like this:

int Counter = 0;
while (some_condition)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Counter:"+Counter.ToString());
  Sleep(100);
  //do some processing
}

Hope this makes sense. It is a very simple case.

Remember, threads are not guaranteed to be processed in any particular order. A lot of factors go into determining when and how threads are processed. From the little bit of debugging output you have given and the little I know about your project (which is nothing), I could only speculate as to what is happening. My first guess would be that you are kicking off 4 threads, joining the third one (Counter:2) and it is finishing before the fourth thread. Obviously, that may not even be close, but I'd need more info to continue.
