Sub-Threading

[TheGrimace]

I worked it out with a co-worker. It turns out the following was happening:

Main thread started sub-thread.

Main thread called stop on thread after receiving a specific signal. (In this case it was looking for a specific value)

My main thread called start on it again a couple function calls later.

The problem was: The main thread never checked to make sure the sub-thread was stopped before moving on. So I got into situations where I was trying to start a thread that was still in the process of stopping.

I solved it with a simple while loop after the stop commands:

while(subThread->isRunning())
{
msleep(1);
}

while(subThread->isRunning())
{
msleep(1);
}
