Comment(by atagar):

 That's interesting. I assume that this is the default target, which means
 that stem is trying to establish a socket connection to tor (which it has
 already done dozens of times before) but somehow getting stuck. Could you
 please dig into get_tor_socket() to figure out if it's getting stuck on
 the connection or authentication? It would be helpful to figure out the
 last line in the stem codebase where we get stuck. One possability is that
 we're sending a PROTOCOLINFO and never receiving a response from tor,
 which would be... bad.

 It's weird that the bug only manifests when multiple tests are run. We
 have a with clause wrapping all of the ControlSockets here, so there
 shouldn't be bleeding between the tests... I'm puzzled.
