Thanks for the fix to the handle leakage. It works for me cleanly now.

Any clue as to why there seems to be some bounded thread leakage (i.e. extra 
threads are created and persist for each thread in the test case which uses 
sockets concurrently)?  Bounded leakage we can llive with, but I'm still 
curious.
