I'm sure this is a common problem but I'm unsure of the 'best' way to solve it.

I am working in C# and have a SUB socket which is listening to changing 
subscription topics.

I have a dedicated thread which creates and owns the subscription socket 
(subSocket) and contains a while(true) loop context.Poll(...) setup which is 
firing a handler method through a PollItem when messages are received.  
However, I want to change the subscriptions at runtime (from another thread) 
and since this sub thread is now busy waiting, I cannot access the subSocket 
object to call the .Subscribe("2ndSubTopic", Encoding.Unicode) method without 
interrupting my context.Poll - unless I break the thread ownership.

Is there a good way to do this?
