[Qt-interest] QThread run() method

[Jeroen De Wachter]

One might suggest exiting the thread cleanly and just calling exit() or
quit() from within the thread instead of terminating it (while it may
hold a mutex, be in the middle of modifying data or anything else of the
sort)

See the QThread documentation for more details (and especially the
warning in the description of the terminate() method)
