Though I like this 'stable'/reliable behaviour of iemnet's [tcpserver],
I wonder what happens, if it keeps sending data to the unreachable
client. Will it just go on and buffer everything until the whole RAM of
the computer is consumed? If so, wouldn't it be more wise to just
disconnect that client at some point in order to avoid the box running
out of memory?


you can query the fillstate of the buffer from within the patch and act upon that: if you prefer to disconnect after 300MB (because of the 2.5GB
memory you have, 2GB are only swap), or if you rather go and crash or
whatever...it's up to you.


A 300 MB network buffer!  That sounds scary.
