vlc_object_waitpipe() and vlc_object_kill() are obvious suspects.

It may very well be that whatever calls net_Read() fails to check b_die or 
vlc_object_alive(), and keeps retrying to net_Read() even though it should 
actually be terminating. That would be caller-specific though,

It stays stuck in this interrupted state if the caller fails to handle the 
interruption, i.e. fails to terminate.

If the waitpipe is readable, the object has been vlc_object_kill()'d, so it 
should definitely NOT continue to the end.
