Comment:

 This kept bugging me so I banged on it some more to make the pref mimic an
 observer notification. I think I got it to stop crashing by checking to
 see if the component wanted to cancel shutdown, but the whole SSL system
 gets put into a broken state after a cancel, until such time as you try to
 shut it down again and then restart it. The cancel seems to be happening
 due to a long period of time between tab close and underlying SSL
 connection close.

 So the user experience for a New-Identity based on this may not be good,
 unless we find a way to forcibly close any open SSL connections early..
 But at least it seems to have stopped crashing.

 Updating the patch.
