@raghavgautam I completely missed something with my test. Originally
started a tcp server and a tcp client in separate processes and sent KILLTERM
to the client side. The server port stayed in TIME_WAIT then started a new
client to check if it can connect to the server side.
When #STORM-3039 is landed on our lines and the original exception was
still present, rechecked the test and realized that even without the change the
new client could connect to the server at least on ubuntu16.
Sorry for the mistake!
