 There are various places throughout the code that use a tight loop and a
 call to usleep() to wait for a certain condition.  I have attached a patch
 that converts one of these cases to use a more efficient method, a thread
 condition.[[BR]][[BR]]

 In this case, the loop had two conditions it was waiting on.  It was
 waiting on both the event thread to start and set the runMainLoop variable
 to true, and also that the errored variable was never set to true.
 However, there is no code path where errored could be set to true before
 runMainLoop is set to true, so the second part of that condition had no
 effect.[[BR]][[BR]]

 I am also available on IRC as "russellb".
