TCP server: assertion "netconn_alloc: undefined netconn_type" failed

Hello,

I'm using ESP32 as wifi AP with tcp server on it. Android phone runs app that have next logic:
1) connects to esp32 wifi AP
2) connects to TCP socket
3) exchanging TCP data (about 900 bytes (6 packets of 150 bytes) in total)
4) closing socket connection.
5) back to step 2.

Sometimes I got next error:
assertion "netconn_alloc: undefined netconn_type" failed: file "D:/Projects/ESP32/TOOLS/esp-idf/components/lwip/api/api_msg.c", line 696, function: netconn_alloc
abort() was called at PC 0x400d5383 on core 1
I have stydied behaviour of connection and have find out, that this happens after socket closed connection.
Some extended part of log:

First task starts TCP server and processing TCP connection on socket.

Second task is monitoring state of tcp server - if socket has been closed, tcp_server_task deletes and "watchdog" task re-creating it.
Not sure if this is good way, but it worked until android app (new version) started to re-opening sockets each 900 bytes.

I think it would be useful to know which source statement in the user application is being called which generates the failure. Hopefully it is the same statement each time.

It comes after closing socket:
void close_socket()
{
close(connect_socket);
close(server_socket);
}
I cant say what exactly is going on at android app... :(
