If my understanding is right, this won't change. The problem is
rather the lack of this function call itself, i.e. the missing
synchronization for the stream stop.
It worked casually in the past because the endpoint resource is
released at a later point that is after all streams are really closed.
Now it's released earlier and hitting the UAF.
