The wfdesc is -1.  The comment for the data structure says "if different".  I see a few places where wfdesc can be set to -1, but I'm not sure how.

Actually, now I'm more sure.  if_deregister_send() is called before if_deregister_receive().  The former sets wfdesc to -1 after closing it, which then causes the if check I mentioned earlier to fail.  This seems like a bug.
