You're trying to use networking for inter-thread communication? Why?
Why not just use normal inter-thread communication mechanisms like
shared message queues? They're easier to write, easier to debug, and
easier to maintain in the future.
If you've never written multithreaded code before, I suggest reading
a good book on the subject and reading some example code before just
trying to hack something together. Just hacking together threaded
code is a good way to write code that has race conditions, priority
inversions, deadlocks, stale data, etc.
