It was actually Marck that suggested it may be an internal component
that is not recording the disconnect.  I cannot however see a method of
recreating that issue without maybe the source so I can terminate the
connection from inside the environment, and trace through what is going
on.  I'd still be curious to see if they are using a global boolean to
record a connection though.

Hrm... then Windows is sending a valid connection terminate to the
client, and it is acknowledging it safely, and terminating the
connection.  So it is clearly not that.  There must be some other
factor.
