I am creating a GUI application to forward orders to a counterparty, =
from another counterparty.  Everything is working fine, I just have one =
question.  My application creates both an Acceptor and an Initiator.  I =
noticed that when I tried to start the Acceptor with Acceptor.start() my =
application would hang.  I soon realized that the start method claims =
the thread you use to call the method.  To fix that I spawned another =
thread to invoke the start method.  my GUI began to behave properly, but =
the thread that began looping in the onRun was not the same thread that =
I used to invoke the start method.  Am I missing some basic concept =
here, or is this how it is supposed to work.  I just don't want random =
threads laying around doing nothing.
