activate the exit condition for the main loop. causes the thread to exit after at most Limiter.iv seconds.

do registry-specific initilization.

Parameters:: method - is called with the next item in the queue as argument (see Limiter.pop)
(type=method object); debug_method - the global debug method
(type=method object)
