LocIpc could be using data member from a deleted obj

startListeningBlocking is meant to be called under a reader
thread, which is the case if startListeningNonBlocking calls
it. A LocIpc client may delete the LocIpc obj, which would
trigger sending an ABORT msg to the reader thread before it
is subsequently deleted, in which case, it is possible that
when the reader thread comes around to process the ABORT msg,
referencing the data members of the possibly stale obj would
cause unpredictable behaviors.
