I'm guessing that there's probably no reason for more than one thread to be
running after the user logs off since the applicaiton is presumably just
sitting around waiting for another user to log in. If I'm right about this,
your best bet may simply be to explicitly set the principal for each thread
as you initialize it in your code. If there's some additional requirement
that would make this impractical, could you please explain?
