-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 If an error causes the DeviceReadBuffer thread to exit on it's own, the
 Stop function doesn't reap the thread, and the backend eventually runs out
 and locks up. The attached patch uses the thread variable itself to
 determine if a thead_join needs to be done, rather than the running
 variable, which seems to have slightly different semantics.
