I should have known that :-( Same logic applies when I use sockets in
Unix. And you are right - I was trying to connect 16 times one after
the other ( just one of those stress tests). But I tried to wait for a
little while and then try to connect again. I guess my wait wasn't long
enough!

I am doing the same. You can see the code I quoted in my earlier mail.
