Hello Joao,

You can simply start you thread again without waiting for it to finish. If you 
start a thread when it has not yet finished, it will wait with restarting, 
until the previous running thread has finished.

From http://doc.trolltech.com/3.2/qthread.html#start
If you try to start a thread that is already running, this function will wait 
until the the thread has finished and then restart the thread.

Good luck, Jos
