I don't know this specific plugin, but looking at the code

I don't think that one should Cancel() (in this case via Stop())
a thread from inside the Action() function.
This must lead to the observed dead-lock.
I guess you should set running=false and let the loop terminate
itself (if needed you can break; out from the loop too). On exit
from Action() the child thread is terminated.
