Allowed an unreferenced Socket to be closed automatically

[fidlej]

The event loop is holding a reference to the Socket.
I used weakref to release the Socket, when nobody else is referencing to it.

Do you mind creating a test case or some sort of example to display this issue?

[fidlej]

Thanks for the interest. The issue can be reproduced when testing gevent-zeromq:
python setup.py test

The "set/getsockopt roundtrip" test will be blocked forever. It is waiting for an unreferenced socket to be closed.
I have libevent-1.4.13.

Could this be causing what looks like a memory leak? I'm baffled as to why my application is hogging the amount of RAM it is.
