  My bet is that you have personal firewall software installed, and that
time is the particular point in userinit at which it (or it's management
interface) gets cranked up, and that is what is somehow causeing the
breakage.  Am I close?

  That's what TIME_WAIT sockets always do.  Those TIME_WAITS are leftovers
from the invocations while you were waiting for it to disappear.  The real
important question is whether the 0.0.0.0:1984 LISTEN socket is still open.

  I'd recommend you don't do that.  Send code as an attachment instead, to
prevent it getting line-wrapped.  Nobody wants to spend ages fixing text
strings that have now been broken in the middle and are causing errors, or
trailing ends of c++ style // comments that have been wrapped onto new
lines; if you really want someone to try your testcase, they need to be able
to have it build OOTB.


    cheers,
