Details:

In a NETCONN_TCP connection, if an TCP error happens, tcpip_thread will call
err_tcp, which post a NULL message to conn->recvmbox. When the application
side fetch the NULL message, it close the recvmbox and set it to
SYS_MBOX_NULL. It seems safer to only set the conn->err to ERR_CLSD to notify
the application, and to let it close the connection (which will "drain" any
other message in a safer way). In netconn_recv, the modification will be :

if (p == NULL) {
  memp_free(MEMP_NETBUF, buf);
  conn->err = ERR_CLSD;
  return NULL;
}
