I thought about the timeout, and dived into the WaitFor code. So I changed my code from. FThread.WaitFor; ..to... WaitForThreadTerminate(FThread.Handle, 2000);
The timeout parameter is ignored when using cthreads, because the pthreads API does not support waiting for a thread termination with a timeout.
Furthermore, the whole point of WaitFor() is to block the current execution thread from continuing until the thread has finished (it's a synchronisation point). If you just want to quickly check whether the thread has finished, check FThread.Finished (followed by FThread.Waitfor to clean it up in case it's true).
