________________________________________________________________________________

If I stop the client and restart it again the exceptions come immediately. After restarting the server
the exceptions come again after some hundred (or thousand) requests.

If the client and the server run on the same pc the following additional exception is thrown on the client side:

So it seems that the server doesn't release the used sockets.



REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
