The connections work fine most of the time so I do not think this is a 
problem with handling of the protocol itself. Sorry, I should have been 
more explicit about this in my e-mail.

Does this machinery kill its threads without warning? Like shutting down 
the custodian after the tcp sockets get closed by the other end?

After inspecting the source code for ws-closed? it also seams to me 
there is no way to find out if a websocket was closed but without proper 
handshake.
Maybe ws-closed? should also check whether the underlaying sockets are 
open or the ws-send and ws-receive calls could change the ws-conn state 
on any tcp error?

The problem can get magnified by the fact that AFAICT ws-close! will not 
be able to set ws-conn-closed? to #f if there are errors in the shutdown 
sequence (i.e. if write-byte throws an exception).
