It's accessed without mutex protection
in a different goroutine from the one that
sets it.

Also make sure that Client.Call after Client.Close
will reliably return ErrShutdown, and that clients
see ErrShutdown rather than io.EOF when appropriate.

Suggestions welcome for a way to reliably test
the mutex issue.
