+Subject: [PATCH] monitor: guard iothread access by mon->use_io_thread
+
+monitor_resume() and monitor_suspend() both want to
+"kick" the I/O thread if it is there, but in
+monitor_suspend() lacked the use_io_thread flag condition.
+This is required when we later only spawn the thread on
+first use.
