I think you have a lucky VM/OS - close() on the accepting socket doesn't
stop the accept() thread ( at least not on Linux/JDK1.3 ).
In general you need to do something to unblock the accept thread, and 3.2
doesn't have this in.
Regarding the threads - this should be fixed in 3.3, if you still have
problems please let me know.
We may have some other resources that are not restored to their initial
state, please don't assume stop() will move you to the pre-start() state
( not yet - it's not well tested and still need review ). ( but it should
work in most cases :-)
