If you want to delete a socket you should flush it first. To do this
stop redirecting traffic to it and then read all the data out. At
the moment its a bit tricky to know when the recieving socket is
empty though. Adding a flag on delete to only delete when the
ingress qlen == 0 might be a possibility if you need delete to
work and are trying to work out how to safely delete sockets.
