Call the AIM_CB_SPECIAL_CONNERR callback from flap_connection_destroy_cb() rather than parse_flap_ch4(). This ensures that the AIM_CB_SPECIAL_CONNERR callback function gets called even if AOL ends our FLAP connection without sending the customary channel 4 FLAP. Apparently you're not allowed to be in chat rooms from two locations. So when you sign on from a second location AOL severs the chat connections from your first location. It does this by sending a TCP RST rather than the expected channel 4 FLAP. This lead to a crash if you were in a chat room, then signed on from a second location. Fixes #1937.
