Calling WaitFor on a thread that could be in a Synchronize call was a
no-no in delphi (and AFAIK even in Lazarus) since it could produce a
deadlock.
That's not the case anymore?
Because of that I always use a workaround: I set a boolean at the end of
the thread and, in the main thread, when I want to terminate the thread,
after calling Terminate I loop on a CheckSynchronize call waiting for
that boolean to become true.
