Hi Martin,

From your perspective and given the solution Matthew presents above,
is it sufficient to make this change and leave the rest of the current
behavior as-is? That is, the UI is hidden and the process spins away
in the background, continuing to collect the additional information
and then quitting. Or would you prefer to see something that
communicates to the thread that it needs to commit suicide at this
point?
