> deadlocks occur if we attempt to close a handle while there are any 
> outstanding async requests (aget, acreate, etc). Normally on close both the 
> io thread terminates and the completion thread are terminated and joined, 
> however w\ith outstanding async requests, the completion thread won't be in a 
> joinable state, and we effectively hang when the main thread does the join.
> afaics ideal behavior would be on close of a handle, to effectively clear out 
> any remaining callbacks and let the completion thread terminate.
> i've tried adding some bookkeeping to within a python client to guard against 
> closing while there is an outstanding async completion request, but its an 
> imperfect solution since even after the python callback is executed there is 
> still a window for deadlock before the completion thread finishes the 
> callback.
> a simple example to reproduce the deadlock is attached.
