The event processing thread is not the one calling dat_ep_free().   As I
said before, with my new patch, the event processing thread never calls
dat_ep_free() (or really dapli_conn_destroy()).  The dat event
processing thread only posts events into an EVD and wakes up the
consumer thread.

Arlin/James, please confirm this?  Cuz maybe I'm confused?
