You're blocking the event loop for the thread, so no queued slot
invocations will be made until you return control to the event loop ... and
since you don't have one that runs all the time ...
In the original example, if memory serves me, there's no need to deliver
slot calls, so there's no need to have a thread event loop.

By the way, in the thread you stared on the Qt forum I did provide you with
a full-fledged working threaded TCP examplethat uses the async API, have
you looked at it?
