Description

On closing the client (08..09 code path) the pthreads corresponding to the worker and the writer remain active. This leaks thread and would lead to failure of any application that creates many connections (Clients) over time.

This can also lead the following output from the Python interpreter:

Unhandled exception in thread started by
sys.excepthook is missing
lost sys.stderr
