[issue11812] transient socket failure to connect to 'localhost'

[Jesús Cea Avión]

Consider too that if something goes bad enough in the test to skip the teardown method, the thread will be alive for a while, possibly contaminating some other tests, like you commented.

This is actually unsolvable, I think. Code that NEED to be executed with no other threads around could/should check the thread count and fail with a clear error message. So we at least can point to the real culprit.
