RTSP Server test-launch question

[Joel Holdsworth]

I did some experiments, and it seems that 1.2 branch works fine, but the 
problem appears somewhere before 1.3.1. I tried bisecting, but I 
couldn't clearly see commit which broke it.

The closest one I could find was 18b69419. After this commit, the server 
failed 1 in 5 attempts to connect. Before this commit, the server seemed 
to work ok after 25 attempts. But there seemed to be a lot of chasing of 
ghosts, and I can't really understand how that commit could cause the 
effect I'm seeing.
