Then I suggest you either
1) add code to simply stop/start processing requests (instead of actaully
shutting down the agent)
2) let the thread die and start a new one.

No. Some progress has been made, but I still think there is work left to do.

No, not even close.

It is not a goal to allow the agent to start and stop, releasing all resouces.
The code you mention should release as many resources as possible, but it
would take a serious effort (probably on the level of a complete rewrite) to
release all resources.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
