I have a situation where I'm calling abort on a websocket and then attempting to open a connection again. Sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't reconnect properly, my investigation shows that the signals from the previous QTcpSocket were not disconnected from QWebSocketPrivate::processStateChanged leading to confusion.

I don't have example code to reproduce this handy because it requires a custom server and client and is slightly timing dependent. However https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/203110/ and http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qobject.html#disconnect-3 combined make the issue fairly evident.
