Investigating #218... tests were failing when DialTimeout() returns immediately with "connection refused". Increasing the timeout didn't help, and reviewing the timestamps in the log file, it was clear that the failure was immediate -- I'm guessing that the goroutine running the server hadn't even started, so when the connection was attempted it failed immediately because there was nothing to connect with. I suspect that DialTimeout() wasn't written for cases where the server hadn't been started yet but was instead intended to handle slow network connections and slow server responses.

Adding an explicit sleep allowed the test to pass on all 3 of 3 attempts (it was failing 1/2 to 2/3 of the time previously).

Yes, I expect this is more of a network and server timeout... and having no port in existence leads to a quick and painless death. And while 1s is probably overkill and some kind of backoff retry would be the best option, I see no reason to worry about any of that here.
