Exception in init_device() blocks server

Throwing an exception in my device server in the device init_device():

void TangoTest::init_device() {
    throw "error!";
}

blocks if I my main() looks like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    Tango::Util *util = NULL;
    try {
        util = Tango::Util::init(argc,argv);
        util->server_init(false);
        cout << "Ready to accept request" << endl;
        util->server_run();
    } catch (...) {
        cout << "Received an unknown exception" << endl;
	cout << "Exiting" << endl;
    }
    util->server_cleanup();
    delete util;
    return(0);
}

The difference from a pogo generated server is that I properly call the delete util. I notice the server is blocked in the Util::~Util() destructor. It looks like it is waiting for the Polling thread. Seems like a dead lock to me.

In cases where the server stops orderly there seems to be no problem in calling Util::~Util().

I report this because in PyTango I notice the same behaviour. In PyTango, the python Util object calls the underlying C++ Util destructor automatically so if the init_device() throws an exception, PyTango servers always block.
