TCPClient unstable in 0.4.6

[pra]

I see a client.connect() at the top of the send_cubie() function but I see no corresponding client.stop(). See this post by @bko:

TCP connection to private server (spark core as tcp client)

If you are not calling client.stop() then client.connect() is getting a new socket every time from the TI CC3000 WiFi chip and there are only 8 total sockets. Either leave the connection open and don’t call connect every time or call client.stop() when you are done and re-connect when you need to.

Admittedly that's for the core but the same principle should apply for the photon. You would appear to be creating a new socket/connection every minute until you run out of sockets. Why it works in 0.4.5 and not 0.4.6 escapes me though .
