We have kern/146845 about close(2) returning ECONNRESET for tcp
connections. Looking at the code (which I am not very familiar with though)
and running some tests make me think that currently ECONNRESET may be only
returned by close(2) after shutdown()/close() on our side and simultaneous
close() on the other side (and in this case this is wrong).
