Re: [Pyvix-discuss] possibly the same problem?

It would appear as though VixHost_Disconnect is blocking and never
returning.  I'm not sure if this is a symptom of the above problem or a
cause, but I figured I would mention it here in case you knew of any reason
why this might be happening.  I don't see anything in the API spec that says
if it should block on unfinished jobs or something of that nature.
