OK, more thoughts :-).

Actually a close on a file handle won't trigger
a signing crash. Currently a close doesn't cancel
out a pending notify and we should (I'm sure Windows
does) but all that will occur is the notify
will notice an invalid handle once it gets
scheduled after the close.

I can add a follow-up patch here that
walks the pending request list and
issues tevent_req_cancel()'s for all
outstanding notifies on the fsp being
closed, in the same way I'm doing in
the patchset for tdis (or using the
tevent_wait_XXX functions that the
current asyncIO uses).

Remember it's only logoff that tears
down the signing data, so that's the
only urgent one for crash fixes. The
tdis part of my fix is for correctness
(Windows cancels the notify on tdis)
but won't cause a crash due to missing
signing pointers.

Yeah, this will trigger a signing crash,
but as we're going down anyway IMHO this
isn't as bad.
