[Live-devel] doEventLoop - problems stopping (and possibly starting)

You must not be using it correctly.  Make sure that the 
"watchVariable" is a single 8-bit variable, which is visible both to 
the call to "doEventLoop()", and in the place where it's value is set non-zero.

Note the implementation of "BasicTaskScheduler0::doEventLoop()" in 
"BasicUsageEnvironment/BasicTaskScheduler0.cpp".

It gets set to False in several places in "liveMedia/FramedSource.cpp".
