// deadlock on Windows with printer worker thread. In any other case, Stop()
// should be used.

// could cause a timing issue in message_loop() access. Call Stop() to reset
// the thread object once it is known that the thread has quit.

// PostTask methods to execute code on the thread. This only returns
