Not piling up. There appears to be 1 or 2 extra on the session when I
close it. This was verified with the diagnostic patch I posted recently
which prints packets on the session during session close.

I was getting 1 or 2 3's and thousands of 82s in a 12 hour run. The 82s
were in response to the keep alive, not sure what triggered the 3s. the
3's remain after i turned off want_reply in my keepalive send operations.
