The problem is twofold. First, the server replies immediately with a
zero timeout, thus it is likely that the client is not yet receiving and
the reply is lost. Further, the server does not know the client, thus it
can only reply to the preceding receive. For that reason the client
needs to do a 'call' which atomically transfers the client from sending
to receiving and the send from the server can be transferred to the
client.
