i cringe every time i see a sleep in code like this -- network
setup takes long enough as it is.  any chance one could get a
similar workaround by instead asking for or sending some more
data?  e.g., if one sent the same message twice (knowing that the
recipient would ignore dups), then it wouldn't matter if the
second one sometimes didn't make it.
