KeWaitForSingleObject on Thread Termination

I am trying to find out when a thread within my driver terminates. I am
trying to use KeWaitForSingleObject and pass a pointer a thread handle, but
when I make the call, the system crashes, Has anybody done this? Is there
another way of accopmlishing this?

Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks,
BJ

A pointer to a thread handle? You must pass a pointer to a thread OBJECT.

You might consider passing a pointer to the thread object instead of a
pointer to a thread handle. See ObReferenceObjectByHandle.

All the mechanics of starting and stopping kernel threads are described
in ch. 14 of my WDM book.
