newbie question about SocketServer

[akameswaran at gmail.com]

Is it just me or do the server_close() methods do squat?  I'm primarily
working with a ThreadingTCPServer object and trying to create a simple
server that can shut itself down.  But even simplest cases don't seem
to work.

Admittedly I am trying it from within my handler class, but for some
odd reason, the server is allways willing to handle one more request
before dying.  Then it dies.
