Strange occasional `RuntimeError: Event loop is closed` out of nowhere

I'm implementing a kernel by inheriting from `ipykernel.kernelbase.Kernel`, as described at [Making simple Python wrapper kernels](https://jupyter-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wrapperkernels.html).

That generally works well, but I have a strange problem: Occasionally I get an exception `RuntimeError: Event loop is closed`:

````
Traceback (most recent call last):

The traceback does not go back to my code, so I'm not certain whether I did something wrong, or there is a bug in `ipykernel.kernelbase`? I am unable to reproduce the error, in the exact same situation it sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't.

I found two other issues which mention this exception, but they are about UI events (#825) or parallelization (#534), both of which I do not use. I inherited from `ipykernel.kernelbase.Kernel` and implemented `do_execute`, which sends code to an external interpreter and sends its stdout and stderr via `self.send_response`.
