OwnerTerminated graceful handling

[Eitan Frachtenberg]

I still don't understand how it's supposed to work. Replace the line '(OwnerTerminated) { return; }' with '(MsgToClient) { return; }', where MsgToClient is an enum, still crashes gloriously with an OwnerTerminated exception. Is there any way I can cleanly stop a thread without crashing?
