This looks almost right to me -- I reviewed the os code to see when
_XSERVTransClose is called (which is what frees the trans_conn data) and
found that every place which called that immediately set trans_conn to
NULL, except for the call in CloseDownFileDescriptor which is only
called from CloseDownConnection and which is immediately followed by
freeing the OsCommRec and setting client->osPrivate to NULL. So, I'd
suggest checking client->osPrivate in addition to the above check.
