To what extent is that actually a problem? Does it need any other features of the thread? My guess is that, after stopping the thread, it may want to join() it; in that case, what you could do is add join to the Protocol. Or whatever else is needed. You're trying to hybridize duck typing and inheritance typing, which seems odd. It should be possible to pick one or the other here.
