It's been a long (LONG!) time since I did this stuff, but IIRC, that was 
the best option I could come up with back in the day.  Windows and Unix 
are different in an inconvenient way right here (although the Windows 
model works fine, more or less; it's really not as stupid as my younger 
self thought it was!)

If you run communications through a central thread as you propose, you 
can get the semantics you want relatively easily on either platform. 
(The downside is code tweaking that may happen in a lot of places.)
