Thank you! I prefer to have everything shut down immediately, so this is good news. If the exception that happens in the background thread is different enough from exceptions indicating "real" problems, I will be able to detect that situation and log a short warning, instead of a full stacktrace. I will be on the lookout for this when I've written enough of the code to test it.
