If it helps, that error is from a timeout where the uhd recv() function
timed out getting samples causing the work() function to return 0. Now,
the tb.stop() called the source block's stop() function to tell the USRP
to stop streaming.

So to me that sounds like the scheduler called the work() routine after
the block was stopped (which is what seems to have happened). This seems
incorrect... Perhaps its because tb.stop() stops the streaming, but
tb.wait() can continue to call work()?
