Hmph. I tried stracing on the client side, and we indeed see an EOF on the socket:

  recvfrom(12, "", 16384, 0, NULL, NULL) = 0

I'm really puzzled why that is the case, though, as the server side did not close() or exit.

I do wonder if it would be possible to write this script so that it triggers via apache, like the rest of our http tests. Doing our own socket handling here is a potential source of bugs.
