What's going on with fit threads? (Trac #531)

[rozyczko]

They are all fine until it comes to communicating with them, e.g. stopping them.
The standard mechanism is to set a control variable, pollable by the thread.
This is done here but the polling doesn't seem to happen or to be acted on.

I would like some time to investigate this.

Paul K to the rescue. This is working as expected - choose the right optimizer and you see things work properly.
The "proper" behaviour of threads being actively killed will happen when we switch to Qt.

Therefore - not a bug.
