Hi Alexander,,

in page you reported, I read:
....
This period ends at the current time plus the specified interval. The 
routine will not return before the end of the period is reached, but 
may return an arbitrary amount of time after the period has gone by.
If I understand well, this solution doesn't let me interrupt this 
thread: am I right? :-|
