I don't believe this is true.  A standard MFC application consists of one
thread that runs the MFC message loop and passes dialog messages out to its
dialogs.  So the "Dialog message handler thread" is the same thing as the
"main thread of the program".  Even if it was a separate thread, I can't
think of any reason this is problematic.  Can you explain?

This is not true.  impl_is_ready(0,true) creates a background thread to
process incoming connections/requests.
