As you know,the win32-service is multithreaded application.
But, Ruby''s sleep or select is not compatible with the Thread of
Windows.
While executing sleep or select in ruby code,the other thread cannot do
anything.

To workaround this stopping problem, 

1. Use loop of short sleep insthead of long sleep.
ex) 10.times { sleep 1 } instead of sleep 10

2. Use nonblocking IO and socket.
