On second look, I was wrong here. Test::TCP already caps max_wait to
10s by default, and the trace shows that part working. Also, I couldn't
reproduce a hang by reserving port numbers in a busy loop etc.

Without timestamps in the trace log, it's unfortunately hard to see
where it hangs.

I'm considering giving up again...
