So you're creating a new thread every 5 minutes? What are these threads
doing? How does the thread procedure exit? How does the main app ensure
they are all closed at startup? What I'm saying is we need to see the
architecture of the threads. I'm certain that they're still running when
your app closes, and this is what's preventing you from restarting.
