Right.  I guess the question is how to synchronize things so that the
thread calling TerminateProcess is actually the last one, making sure
its return value is used.

Maybe the NtQueryInformationThread(ThreadAmILastThread) call is of some
help.  Or we have to keep all thread IDs of the self-started threads
available to terminate them explicitely at process exit.
