(Keywords: main-thread-io)

We use nsIThread::Join() to cause the main thread to wait for the background thread to complete, because we pass pointers to local variables to the background thread. Instead, we should avoid blocking the main thread. Also, at least <keygen> might do disk I/O, and that disk I/O needs to execute off the main thread. There may be other similar uses of nsIThread::Join() on the main thread in PSM that need to be cleaned up.
