Harold,

Here is what I know about Test 15 freezing on my WinME
- When launching the server without clients and without touching
  the mouse nor the keyboard, the server will always freeze during 
  the 1988th call to select() in WaitForSomething()
  That number changes unpredictably if the mouse is touched.
- The arguments to the 1988th select() are normal. 
  There are 2 file descriptors in the readmask.  
- I think the two file descriptors are port 6000 and the directory 
  /tmp/.X11-unix
- The server creates hundreds of tcp connections.
 Here is a sample from netstat -a | sort (hpn5170 is the local machine name)
 TCP    hpn5170:3921           localhost:3920         TIME_WAIT
 TCP    hpn5170:3923           localhost:3922         TIME_WAIT
 TCP    hpn5170:3925           localhost:3924         TIME_WAIT
 TCP    hpn5170:3927           localhost:3926         TIME_WAIT
 TCP    hpn5170:3929           localhost:3928         TIME_WAIT
 TCP    hpn5170:3931           localhost:3930         TIME_WAIT
 TCP    hpn5170:3933           localhost:3932         TIME_WAIT
 TCP    hpn5170:3935           localhost:3934         TIME_WAIT
