There is no alternative that I have found for this synchronization/timing 
situation.  We certainly don't want a `sleep()` call and NSTs are not send/ack 
situation.  If the client ignores the NST, that is fine.  Hung thread paranoia 
is the only reason I put the `join()` in the code below as when this finish 
isn't critical.
