Nope. There is *always* someone who has the control port of a translator
-- otherwise, no client could ever connect... The control ports do not
prevent a translator from going away (where would the fsys_goaway()
request be sent to if there was no control port open?...); only protid
ports do.

In other words, the translators are perfectly capable of exiting after
the timeout passes with no client connection. It's just that they don't
go away immediately when we know we won't need them anymore.
