Danny,

Can you show us in more detail what the long-running threads are doing,
perhaps some pseudocode?  How one safely kills/interrupts/shuts down a
thread depends on what that thread is doing.

As this forum discussed a little over a year ago, threads stuck in blocking
system calls present their own design challenges.
