Hmm, calling shutdown() on a listening socket will actually do weird
things from which we cannot recover. Calling shutdown() is fine if you
do it on connection sockets, but not for listening sockets. (or in other
words: it's OK for Accept=yes, but not for Accept=no sockets.

I will update the man page accordingly.
