Yes.  My first question could be worded "is tcp_close being
called for these sockets?"

My second question could be worded "is tcp_close calling
shutdown(2)?".  (Your method for answering this question is
suitable.)

A third question, which I should have asked before is,
what is the TCP state of these steams at the peer?
