If TCP socket in CLOSE_WAIT state, gen_tcp:send/2 gets blocked indefinitely #8

This causes a process queue to grow indefinitely as well. In order to avoid it, send_timeout option for gen_tcp:connect/4 should be used. Also, it is recommended to use send_timeout_close, in order to have a socket closed on timeout automatically.

I finally tagged a new version (v0.9) that includes your PR.

Very sorry for the way too long delay!
