The issue is caused by Cloud9 as they don't close down the WebSocket connection when your application is not running. It just simply accepts the connection and does nothing with it. But this problem did show an interesting problem with our reconnection logic, which has been reported at: primus/primus#297

Thanks again for taking the time to join us on IRC and providing us with a reproducible testing environment.
