This is something I'm torn on. On the one hand, it'd be easy enough to
transmit a connection.close (or similar) before shutting the socket
down; but on the other hand, a closed connection at this point is pretty
unambiguously an authentication failure, IIUC.

I think clients -- all of them -- should probably be altered to report
such an abrupt connecton closure at that phase of connection
establishment as an authentication failure.
