 # Daemon takes a while to open its port

-This scenario verifies that if the background process never starts
-listening on its port, the daemon library handles that correctly. We
-do this by using [netcat][] to start a dummy daemon, after a short
-delay. The lib/daemon code will wait for netcat to open its port, by
-connecting to the port. It then closes the port, which causes netcat
-to terminate.
