 To quote #tor-dev...
 22:33 < atagar> mikeperry: There seems to be a couple concurrency bugs
 with shutting down torctl: (1) when connect fails to authenticate it needs
 to close the failed torctl instance to stop its main loop from continuing
 and (2) close joins on the event thread, but not self._thread causing
 occasional shutdown issues like [1]

 14:14 < mikeperry> atagar: is there a trac entry for this, or when the
 scrollback is gone, or when this pastebin expires, this will be history?

 14:16 < atagar> mikeperry: Heh, can do if you'd like. I'd be happy to make
 patches but I can't reliably repro the issue so testing would be a pita. I
 was hoping that you'd be able to either say "yup, there's a obvious bug
 here" or "nah, you're missing X".

 14:17 < atagar> the second issue seems to occure around 1% of the time or
 less (guess I could try a script that starts/stops torctl a bunch and see
 if that does the trick...)

 14:19 < atagar> NightMonkey seemed to be able to reliably repro the first
 issue, but he's usually not around and his repro seems to be platform
 dependent (gentoo)

 [1] atagar@fenrir:~/Desktop/arm$ ./arm -e 2
 Exception in thread TorLoop (most likely raised during interpreter
 shutdown):
