 On occasion when I run our integ tests [https://jenkins.torproject.org/job
 /stem-tor-ci/158/console they fail with]...

 {{{
 Threads lingering after test run:
   <_MainThread(MainThread, started 139940160231168)>
   <Thread(Tor Listener, started daemon 139940072584960)>
 }}}

 I've seen this occasionally when running these tests on my netbook too,
 but it's very rare.

 This indicates either that our
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/blob/HEAD:/stem/control.py#l481
 BaseController's close() call] is somehow failing to clean up our threads,
 or we're forgetting to call close() somewhere.
