Thanks for the positive feedback, kudos should go to the authors.

Your analysis of the problem and fix look good to me. It's actually a 
race condition, and in fact most of the time it works on my test 
machine, but sometimes not. And it's not really a freeze, the server 
works properly, just doesn't respond to Ctrl-C any more, right?

I also agree that a better fix would be to use a condition or event 
instead of the global flag. I'll work on that and plan to have a bugfix 
release this month. A couple of issues have already been fixed after 
1.1, and I have one or two other open issues that I want to address.

If there are other small issues that should be addressed in a bugfix 
release, let me know.

I have fixed it now in trunk in r8233 with the simplest possible patch. 
Using events would be probably better, but I want to keep the semantics 
of the existing flag for backward compatibility.
