This could potentially be a long block... and we need the run loop to  
find out when the account disconnects, anyways, because it might (for  
example) be a process of the account sending "I want to go offline  
cleanly" to the server, the server doing some stuff or sending last  
minute information, and then the server replying (some time later),  
"Okay, go right ahead."
