I understand you feel pretty strongly that this is a user bug which can be
avoided but,

The memory cost is not "little" so, I am very uneasy about this proposal,
especially since there is another fix, as outlined in my previous comment. I am
also pretty uneasy about this proposed change because I really think that it is
a bug to create a socket, release it, and expect it to stay around while you
run the simulation. 

Furthermore, I have a very hard time to see how your proposal would gracefully
deal with appearing and disappearing sockets: how can you (user) make sure that
a socket is really released ? Do you have to go into the array attached to the
node and remove it from there ? _that_ sounds really bad.
