I agree with your way to fix. However, the progress reporting didn't work
because we cannot return from advanceConnectionState to threadRun and just
break the loop.
+ /* otherwise loop over
PREPARE_THROTTLE */
break;
I attached the fixed patch that uses return instead of break, and I confirmed
that this made the progress reporting work property.
