Patches w/

 1. Long pause before GetAllStats (without using [u]sleep)
 2. Adjustment to call virNetServerServiceToggle in
virNetServerServiceClose (instead of virNetServerDispose)
 3. Call virHashRemoveAll in virNetDaemonClose
 4. Call virThreadPoolFree in virNetServerClose
 5. Perform Unref (adminProgram, srvAdm, qemuProgram, lxcProgram,
remoteProgream, and srv) before virNetDaemonClose

Still has the virCondWait's - so as Daniel points out there's quite a
bit more work to be done. Like most Red Hat engineers - I will not be
very active over the next week or so (until the New Year) as it's a
holiday break/vacation for us.

So unless you have the burning desire to put together some patches and
do the work yourself, more thoughts/work will need to wait.
