Did you think of that? Or are you only thinking of your own uses..?
Do you have any particular and practically important failing scenario in

The change in only for AF_INET, and only the move of
close(listen_socket) up, which was closed after work, and now is closed
before work.
The failing case would be when second user would be trying to connect
while the first user is communicating, and would now get immediate
failure to connect, vs. before would have gotten
connect+wait+disconnect. I don't see this how this difference can be
practically important.
