Yea, my first idea is that you're probably 100% correct.  I think
you hit it right on the head.  We probably need to verify we hit
end-of-file before we allow the thread to be killed.

Way back I did some optimization, trying to get rid of unnecessary
delays in the interface part of the code.  People were complaining
about slow writes to the TNC.  I probably got a bit too aggressive
while making the changes, or perhaps the code had a race condition
there to begin with, but I made it worse.

Please file a bug report on SourceForge about it.  The text you have
above would be fine and would point us right to the problem.  Filing
a report means that it won't be forgotten.  One of the developers
will get to it when they have a few free minutes/hours to play.
