> This has been a problem for a long time.  I created a fix for the problem yesterday and tested it overnight.
> The problem is when we remove from the enabled lists in close_UnixNetVConnection().  We lock the lists when we add to them, but not when we remove the connection from them in close_UnixNetVConnection().  This can corrupt the data structure.
> Because the data structure is corrupted it can fail the empty() test in NetHandler::mainNetEvent() and poll_timeout (really epoll timeout) will set to 0 and the thread will spin.
> The read enabled list (Queue<>) will normally have a NULL head, but a non-NULL tail and the empty() test on the Queue<> checks for NULL head and NULL tail to be considered empty.
