This is about https://jira.sil.org/browse/LT-21934.
Michael Lee asked that StopParser could return immediately so the user can get back to work while the parser still times out gracefully in the background. I added a condition that thread.Stop() wouldn't be called while the parser was updating wordforms since thread.Stop() turns into an abort after 60 seconds, and that can leave things in a funny state.
Jason wanted to review this code.
