Overloading server_bind() makes the server killable with ctrl-C.

I noticed however, that I can't use this as solution.
If the bind function sets a time out, then it seems,

that there are regular small time windows, when connecting clients fail.
I don't have the error message any more, but will post it when I capture
the event next time.
