  Well, the way you describe below seems to work :-)  Seriously, though, I
this one seems like a toughie.  I was going to say you could put the data
in the object manager structure for each object, but then when a thread
ends that flag would need to be reset, and I have no idea how that would
work.

  Cool!  A third one!

  Since I'm a guy with a tendency to steal features from other MUDLibs, 
I'd like to request you release code to the public, and preferably in the 
public domain :-)

  This is a little unusual, but can still probably be hacked around.  Not
only might other MUDLibs be enriched, but people could suggest other ways
to do the things you hack the driver for.  Those questions have
historically done quite decently on the mailing list, often even before
Felix has time to respond with The One True Answer :-)

  That makes it all the more interesting.  If yours looked just like
everybody else's, there would be nothing to learn from it.
