How to stop an [Rpyc] server thread?

[Saizan]

I embedded an Rpyc threaded server in a preexistent daemon (an irc
bot), this is actually very simple;
  start_threaded_server(port = DEFAULT_PORT)
then I had the necessity to stop the thread which accept() new
connections without killing the whole app, the thread is simply a while
True that spawn a new thread which serves each connection, so I placed
a flag and a break in this way:
def local_threaded_server(port = DEFAULT_PORT, **kw):
	global stop
	sock = create_listener_socket(port)
	while True:
                newsock, name = sock.accept()
                t = Thread(target = serve_socket, args = (newsock,),
kwargs = kw)
		t.setDaemon(True)
		t.start()
		if stop: break
but, since sock.accept() blocks, when I set stop=True the server wait
one more connection and only then stops.
I tried sock.settimeout(10) before entering the while and so checking
timeout exception on accept() but I experienced a strange behavior, the
clients connections close immediatly, with one of these exceptions on
the client side on their first use of the rpc connection:

OR

I'm not an expert in socket programming, but I can't see the
correlation between the "listener socket" being in timeout mode and a
different behavior the other sockets..
Anyhow the main goal is being able to shut down the thread of the rpyc
server, any other way is an appreciated suggestion.
