[Vortex] How to correctly close a connection?

That's the point. vortex_connection_data_set_full is provided to
associate user defined data that has some meaning to the particular
session. 

Because Vortex is highly threaded, the API also allows to configure the
handler to be called to terminate that reference so you don't have to
worry about who or when closes the connection...

..vortex only deallocs those pointers that have a dealloc function
associated.

;-) Certainly. Behavior while accessing to undefined data is really OS
specific. Cheers!
