Ya, if I knock the first constant in testManyClients() down from 50 to 40,
the test passes on Win98.  At 41 or higher, it fails.  It clearly hit a
socket resource wall.

OTOH, I have to knock count down to 1 in testPipelining() before that one
passes, and that seems fishy given that the test passes unaltered under
2.2.1 Python -- indeed, under 2.2.1 it passes even if I boost count from 25
to 1000!  Python 2.3 didn't get 1000x worse <wink> -- so I don't expect this
one is a resource issue after all.  I doubt I'll have time to look at it
again before Friday, though.
