They should do the same thing. This one is very odd - it looks like tcp
listeners are being started as the Erlang VM kernel is being shutdown.
I've never seen this before, but I'd be slightly surprised if it's
unique to 21673. Can you reproduce this at all on the default branch?
Also, which version of Erlang are you running? 12B3 is the minimum for
that branch, and 13B03 is recommended.
