- Title
- ThreadDNSAddressSeed hangs on sk_wait_data and doesn't stop on exit
- Description
- This is a continue of previously opened issue [Unable to stop bitcoin-qt. ThreadDNSAddressSeed hangs. #16642](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16642#issue-481935673). Now hardware problems are sorted out. Single consumer-grade HDD on USB3.0 is changed for RAID1 of HGST Ultrastar® 7K4000 on SATA. Database was changed for know working archived version. Except already repaired HDD problem, hardware is stable, none failures or glitches was found for several month of operation under different operating systems.
The problem is sometimes Bitcoin Core, particularly bitcoin-qt, unable to finish it's operation on close.
I'm expecting normal bitcoin-qt application finishing after clicking "close" sign at top right corner of main GUI window.
Actual behavior: after several successful application shutdowns, the application remains to hang with a message "Bitcoin Core is shutting down... Don't shut down the computer until this window dissapears."
Natively compiled 01 Sep 2019 for arm-linux-gnueabihf, master branch.

The issue is reproducing quite reliable. With 0.18 versions on different computers, different builds I had this problem at least three times even after DB rescan. For some time the Core works normally but at some point, usually after network disturbance, it hangs on shutdown.
Now it is self-compiled from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
Bitcoin Core version v0.18.99.0-495db72ee-dirty
The machine is ROCKPro64, RK3399 CPU, 4GB RAM.
Configure command was:
```
./configure --enable-debug --enable-werror BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
```
This time I compiled the Core with debug enabled. If being provided with more debug instructions I will try to investigate it deeper.
After the compilation and installation, test_bitcoin was completed with none errors.
As I wrote in #16642 before, the problem persist not only at mine ARM CPU but on an Intel CPU too.
Thank you.
