If the API constructor raises an exception at https://github.com/bbc/nmos-common/blob/master/nmoscommon/httpserver.py#L43 then the HTTPServer thread exits but doesn't set started (and failed). A client that is waiting for started to be set will wait forever. A similar issue could arise if the socket calls raise an exception.
