+ the socket window will be created for the secondary thread, but
+ since there is no message loop on this thread, it will never
+ receive events and all socket operations will time out.
+ BTW, the main thread must not be stopped using sleep or block
+ on a semaphore (a bad idea in any case) or socket operations
+ will time out.
+
+ On the Mac side, Initialize() stores a pointer to the CFRunLoop for
+ the main thread. Because secondary threads do not have run loops,
+ adding event notifications to the "Current" loop would have no
+ effect at all, events would never fire.
