>
> Using {{TNonblockingServer}}, when the number of IO threads is > 1, there is
> race condition in which {{stop()}} does not properly unblock {{serve()}}.
> The problem manifests itself when {{stop()}} is called (obviously from a
> different thread) soon after {{serve()}}.
> The core issue is that, {{event_base_loopbreak()}} is called within the
> {{stop()}} sequence without checking whether the IO thread has actually
> entered its event loop. The documentation of {{event_base_loopbreak()}} says
> (http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref3_eventloop.html)
> {quote}
> Note also that event_base_loopexit(base,NULL) and event_base_loopbreak(base)
> act differently when no event loop is running: loopexit schedules the next
> instance of the event loop to stop right after the next round of callbacks
> are run (as if it had been invoked with EVLOOP_ONCE) whereas loopbreak only
> stops a currently running loop, and has no effect if the event loop isn’t
> running.
> {quote}
> Attached is a patch (against the released 0.9.3 version of the codebase).
