> This test makes concurrent connections to a server using multiple threads, 
> and due to keep-alive, expects that there should not be more connections than 
> concurrent threads. However, the test has been seen occasionally and 
> intermittently failing because it observed more connections than threads. The 
> test has some built-in logic to exclude connections that do not come from the 
> test itself, so external interference should not be the cause.
> 
> The suspicion is that occasionally some connection might remain idle for more 
> than the keep-alive timeout, which then causes it to be closed, and allows 
> the client to open a new connection.
> 
> This fix works this way: 
> 
> - first it adds some logic to figure out whether a Worker thread might have 
> remained idle for more than the keep-alive timeout
> - then it takes this information into account when matching the number of 
> actual connections with the number of expected connection,
> - additionally it reduces the keep-alive timeout to one second, and forces 
> some sleep on the client side after half the requests have been sent to 
> increase the probability that some connections will be idle long enough to 
> trigger the idle-time detection logic (as a means to test the fix itself). 
> 
> Finally it improves logging by adding more diagnosis (including human 
> readable time stamps), so that future failures, if any, will be easier to 
> diagnose. Note that reducing the keep-alive time to 1 second makes the test 
> run much faster even with the 1500ms sleep on the client side.
> 
> With this fix I no longer observe the test failing.
