#15135: static destruction order problem in mediakit

I have an app crashing on exit.
the MediaRosterUndertaker (a static object) is destroyed when my main
thread is terminating. It signals the media roster looper to terminate.
When terminating, the media roster notified the Media Kit that it is gone
(to remove all nodes from the app from the media graph). However, to do
this it uses the sPortPool, which is also statically allocated. It seems
the port pool has already been destroyed at this point, so the thread just
crashes.
I couldn't find much info about the port pool, my guess it that it's there
for performance reasons (no need to create a new port everytime we do
something). Wold it be ok to avoid using it in media roster termination?
Or is there a way to make the destruction order more safe?
