Comment(by mikeperry):

 Hrmm. Are you eating exceptions somewhere in your TorCtl? Why is your
 TorCtl even giving you a Connection object back when auth fails? Mine
 throws the exception up to the python prompt when I try to reproduce this,
 making me unable to even call close. This makes sense that there's a
 leaked socket in that case. We need to catch the auth error and close it
 in the connect() call.

 You'll also need to merge your other comments into a single diff for me to
 more easily understand them. They seem orthogonal to this particular
 issue, but pasted diffs-as-comments are not really easy to understand, so
 perhaps I'm missing some additional issues.
