Python's documentation has a bug[1], in that it doesn't correctly annotate
is_alive as being a function introduced in Python 2.6.

Make sure the Thread.run() method has terminated before closing the
socket. Currently, the socket is closed through Packetizer.close(),
which happens too early. Move the socket.close() into Transport.close()
and after the Thread.join() call.
While at it, modify the stop_thread() method and use it in
Transport.close() to avoid code duplication. Use join() with a timeout
to make it possible to terminate the main thread with KeyboardInterrupt.
Also, remove the now obsolete socket.close() from Transport.atfork().
This fixes a potential infinite loop if paramiko.SSHClient is connected
through a paramiko.Channel instead of a regular socket (tunneling).
Details:
Using a debug patch to dump the current stack of the thread every
couple of seconds while trying to close it, I've seen the following
over and over again:
Thread could not be stopped, still running.
Current traceback (most recent call last):

The thread was running Packetizer.write_all() in an endless loop:
while len(out) > 0:
...
n = Channel.send(out) # n == 0 because channel got closed
...
out = out[n:] # essentially out = out
