The aforementioned Rexx server use case can be changed to be ended: if
one ends the main thread (by not issuing a SysSleep() or doing a parse
pull) and the message loop thread is running, then once the message loop
thread ends (e.g. because of a Rexx condition, but also for other
reasons) the program ends altogether.
