Comment:

 Just posting to say that I'm also poking around for more data. Will post
 if I find anything new. Same OS, etc.

 As for type 16, I read a thread (I think on this trac, though it may have
 been the mailing list) that mentioned strange closure type 11 being
 related to signal 11 (i.e., segfault). Perhaps type 16 is related to
 signal 16, SIGURG. From `man signal`:

 16    SIGURG       discard signal       urgent condition present on socket
