In a few tests the server's socket is not fully "conditioned" when the client and server threads start. The server tries to finish socket setup, but this races against the client thread sending the message, which may be processed by the kernel with default socket options (observed intermittently in tests on FreeBSD). A more complete solution would be to provide setup hooks for the server setup initialisation, so that the threads don't start until the server socket is ready. Ideally the socket options can be set before the server socket is "bound", ensuring that no messages can come in too early. This is not presently warranted, but perhaps some day...
