OK, but I'm also confused by two things:
  a) Why +1 given that Tom's reply says this gets incremented by 2 each
time (once for the message, once for the reply)
  b) Why >= ? I think here is count was INT_MAX-1 you'd skip to 0,
skipping INT_MAX - is that what you want?

OK; that nails pretty much anything bad that can happen - I was just
thinking if the host did something odd like give you an address in the
middle of some other useful structure.
