The assignment of thread-ids is (apparently) non-deterministic in a
way that mostly seems to show up on multicore machines. In my tests
the number is different from that previously assumed by this test
about 15% of the time on a 50 thread (25 core) Xeon.

Since message id's are fixed, use a message known to be in the thread
of interest to pick out the correct thread-id.
