I had suspected this may be related to
<URL:http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4980> 
and may depend on a combination of emacs 23, /etc/hosts, and glibc
version,

I'm convinced that the connection is being closed by emacs in
Fmake_network_process after the server does an accept.  I was getting
100% repeatability (emacs 23 compiled --without-x) but the bug will not
manifested if I strace or debug emacs,..
