when to call quit()

[createthis]

From the documentation: https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq#quitcallback

Disconnect the redis client. This is only useful if you are using rsmq within a script and want node to be able to exit.

Our environment is exhibiting redis connection leaks. We currently encapsulate RSMQ in a class. We instantiate that class using new in a local scope and perform some RSMQ interactions. The instantiated object passes out of scope and I assume is garbage collected, however the redis connection for RSMQ seems to hang around.

The documentation seems to imply that quit() should never have to be used and garbage collection of the connection will happen automagically, but that isn't what we're seeing. Is the documentation wrong?

Thoughts?
