Bleh. Thank you for the analysis!

I think that requires me to copy the EV_RECEIPT handling from
register_socket(), to make sure an ENOENT is correctly ignored on
delete but doesn't mask failures from the addition. Do you prefer that
to the separate calls? (Or, better yet, is it easier than I'm making
it?)

Thanks!
