Not desired, but currently normal behavior. This happens whenever certain concurrency features of Clojure are used, creating other threads, and they take a while for them to be cleaned up on exit. Besides pmap, futures and a few other Clojure functions cause this. You can work around it if you call (shutdown-agents) before the end of your program.
