Because, each time Serveez calls your callback function, it remakes
the smob that contains the socket.  It doesn't matter that the filedes
is the same; that is a case for equal?, just as the characters in a
string are a case for equal? not eq?.

The relevant code is in guile-server.c.  Each of the callbacks has a
wrapper.  Take guile_func_kicked_socket for example.  It calls
MAKE_SMOB (svz_socket, sock), which effectively calls the expansion of
GUILE_CONCAT3(guile_,svz_socket,create), a function that calls the
expansion of SCM_RETURN_NEWSMOB.  A new smob can't be eq? to anything
already in the system.
