Assertion in `delv` utility.

Had an assertion error for `delv` utility in trying to perform suspend
thread.

Doesn't seem specific to any thing, argument-wise.

Environment:
Linux 4.19
Debian 10.3
Custom built Bind v9.17.1

if (atomic_load_acquire(&ctx->shutdown_requested) == false) {

Had an assertion error for `delv` utility in trying to perform suspend
thread.

This is weird.

`*ctx->running` is set to `true`.

It would have continued on normally to suspending the thread, if it
weren't for that `REQUIRE(VALID_APPCTX(ctx));` logic.

* ld (GNU Binutils 2.31.1)
