The real issue here is that I need to use

[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(doUnsafeStuff)
          withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];

Which blocks until the method completes, so I need a way to end the thread,
but in the original code the killThread method blocks waiting for the thread
to finish.

I probably need to launch a timer or other notification system when the
thread finishes.
