Cool. :)

Actually, it can be shorter by checking the return value of receiveTimeout:

       if (receiveTimeout(delay, (OwnerTerminated msg) {})) {
         return;
       }

I didn't use this method earlier because I was afraid an unexpected 
message might make receiveTimeout return 'true'. But I've tested just 
now: Only the expected OwnerTerminated makes it return 'true'.
