This is a longstanding bug in the Socket code that was only noticed
recently as a result of some test changes that Daniel pushed in the nio
area.
There is a very small window in
AbstractPlainSocketImpl.getIn/OutputStream where isClosedOrPending()
grabs the fdLock to check if the socket is closed, or not, and the
construction of the in/output stream, where another thread may
asynchronously close the socket.
