Under what conditions does event-dispatch return?

For example, if I set up a read and write handler on one fd and through the course of the network protocol, one of the handlers decides to close the connection. If this handler calls remove-fd-handlers for the socket's underlying fd in question, is this sufficient to make event-dispath return?

After reading the source, I figured out the if you make-instance the event-base and add :exit-when-empty t to it, then when there are zero monitored fds, the event-dispatch loop will exit. For my purposes at this time, this is good enough.

Thank you.
