[issue12463] Calling SocketServer.shutdown() when server_forever() was not called will hang

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali <neologix at free.fr> added the comment:

When you join a thread which hasn't been started, you get an
exception, not a deadlock.
When you join a newly-created queue, it doesn't wait until an item is
submitted to the queue.
But honestly I don't really care, since it's such a minor nuisance and
open to interpretation.
