OK, I have two threads for one of the qemu-nbds using inet created on
the second run (when it fails with the 'port already in use' message):

(gdb) thread apply all bt

That one goes away after I Ctrl-C out of the hanging iotest (together
with the zombie qemu-ndb).

The other qemu-nbds (the inet and the unix socket ones from the first
run, the second inet one from the second run) have a single thread with
the same backtrace I posted above.
