Yeah, I think Philip's right. The NSPR API documentation for PR_Close
[1] and PR_Shutdown [2] is not very helpful, but I did manage to find
this:
Once the exchange has been accomplished, the transport is shut
down with a call to PR_Shutdown, as shown in line 106. This
operation effectively disables any further use of the file
descriptor for anything other than closing it. The call to
PR_Shutdown does not, however, eliminate the need to close the
descriptor. The call to PR_Close is in main() (the creator the
the TCP stream) and is required to reclaim the resources used by
the runtime to support the connection. [3]
So I'll commit this for 2.21.4.
