Ok, yeah... it disconnects via telnet, but doesn't via SSH, and the
disconnection is a proper FIN/FIN+ACK/ACK sequence, so it's "on purpose".

The difference between telnet and SSH implies that the door is being give the
raw socket handle and doing telnet itself, and also calls close() or
shutdown(s, SHUT_WR) on the socket.

This type of setup for a door is always problematical because the door is not
aware of what telnet options have been negotiated, and if it changes them,
it's not passed back to the BBS... the ability of the door to close the socket
is also a potential issue.

I haven't read the documentation, but if it supports something other than
passing a socket handle, that would likely avoid the issue (except perhaps the
pause thing).
