Using TerminateThread potentially leaks resources. In our case, the connect wait thread may be forcefully terminated after having successfully opened a client side pipe handle. If this occurs, we have a stale pipe server instance, so the pipe will never be closed as long as the process lives. Avoid this by changing the npfs handle to non-blocking, so we can wait on a termination event object from inside the thread itself and cleanly exit from the thread instead of terminating.
