You're right - it's a worthwhile change to make for the sake of clarity
and safety, and it's definitely needed with a connection.c
`KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL` which is shorter than the timeout, but 2.4.0 has the
timeout at 20 seconds so this really shouldn't fix the crash.
I'll commit the patch above... given that `jabber_close()` cancels the
timeout if it exists, I still wonder if somehow even in 2.4.0 we're
queuing up 2 of these timeouts at the same time, only one of which can be
canceled.
