Aha. Sometimes 'u' is used in place of µ for that reason, and it's
easy enough to understand in the proper context. But nevermind. :)

This has me a bit confused. I guess it should say "sender"? Otherwise I
don't understand it, since you said there were no receivers running,
they probably can't hang.

Still, I guess the behaviour you're seeing is indicative of there
being something wrong, somewhere. The server (as Eskil pointed out
in his reply) should be there and receive the data from the sender,
and ACK it back so the sender can clear its outgoing packet history.
If that's not happening, something is ... odd.
