Crash report

Running the code in this tree:

https://github.com/morphex/smps/tree/59fbc78ebddcc3a68c6ea71200d80683b88b8b7d

Can crash the Python interpreter, with no useful feedback on what's wrong, except that the socketserver must have crashed as connections are refused.

Error messages

Two runs of the smps test; which shows that the number of client connections that crashes Python varies; the first run was after I opened the laptop lid, IIRC:

You can run test.sh with ./test.sh 1000 for example to increase the number of clients generated.
