hmm, in my point of view it is ok when it does not connect, but it
is in fact not ok, that nobody else can work on the server, after
there is a single connection, that tried to connect with that way.

I see it almost similar to the famous "Ping of Death". There must be
a better way than just stop work on the server side, when there is a
connection problem with a client, for whatever reason
