[New-bugs-announce] [issue31233] socketserver.ThreadingMixIn leaks running threads after server_close()

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

test_logging has a race condition: sometimes, it leaks dangling threads on FreeBSD: bpo-30830.

I identified the root issue: socketserver.ThreadingMixIn spawns threads without waiting for their completion in server_close(). This issue is very similar to socketserver.ForkingMixIn which leaks child processes and so create zombie processes. See bpo-31151.
