As you have found, if an open Socket is unreferenced then a cleaner can close the underlying socket (and release the file descriptor). The Cleaner is setup by the SocketImpl implementation.

What is the existing behavior with the BaseSSLSocketImpl finalizer? Does it just close the socket or does it to the close_notify before closing the socket. If it does, and you want to keep that behavior, then you are probably into significant refactoring to avoid a reference to the BaseSSLSocketImpl.
