Per the comment immediately above this, it's intentional that we don't
close the socket. I'm not really convinced that this is an improvement.
Can we get anywhere by using shutdown(2) instead of close(), ie do a
half-close? I have no idea what Windows thinks the semantics of that
are, but it might be worth trying.
