In my experience this has been due to destroying sockets before cancelling
the call into some socket function. Most of mine are preceded by recvfrom
failed: or select failed:. There is not much we can do about this, except
change the way we kill the server. The randomness is directly connected
to which threads get ran in which order, and how socket functions are
handled. I generally have not thought much of it, since I did want it to
stop!

Not sure what you are saying here. Define "wprks nicely".

Define this more I have no idea what you mean, "less stable in
bandwidth"
