The stop,start msg method also works well with the data queue/background
processor setup. The bp is pgm'd to end when the stop msg is rcvd. Sometimes
the bp starts, rcvs an old "stop" msg and ends. Adding a "start" msg solves
that problem. The bp ignores "stop" msgs until a "start" msg is rcvd.

Another example of the algorithm/template solution being superior to the
technical solution: The algorithm solution has more than one application.
The technical solution only solves one problem.
