I'm not sure I agree with your analysis -- the test that fails is using unix domain sockets, not TCP.

It defaults to 60 seconds on BSD sockets, but I'm not aware of the constant for it (a quick survey of the header files doesn't show anything promising). On the other hand, I don't think you're going to be running this particular test a number of times quickly (or will you?). In the final examination, I suspect it's a race condition. -- Cheers, Hasan Diwan <hasan.diwan at gmail.com>
