	My response to that then is: design the thread's I/O so that it is not
blocking... On Linux, maybe a timed select(); Windows? short sleeps around
a non-blocking check for available data... (if console I/O, msvcrt.kbhit();
otherwise may need some other library function to put a time-out on the
I/O)
