Issue(s) addressed by this patch:
PL-6780: lkscsid core dumps: segmentation fault


Patch description:
This patch provides the following improvement to the SIOS SPS-L core SCSI recovery kit:


This patch addresses a bug in the LifeKeeper core SCSI recovery kit where
lkscsid will not properly handle the threads it starts to check devices.  New
threads are created instead of reusing those already started.  These threads
will eventually cause the process/system to run out of file descriptors and
will eventually core dump.
