Or, since there is nothing like exponential back-off implemented
here which may want to modify wait_ms variable, perhaps use the
constant directly here and where k is incremented?

Even if it may have been "randomly chosen", there should be some
criteria to judge if the value is sensible, right? IOW, I have a
suspicion that I would regret if I randomly chose 5 (or 3600000)
instead of 1000. How would we figure that 1000 acceptable but not
5?
Perhaps explain that criterion here, e.g. "... value that ought to
be long enough to establish connection locally as long as the box is
not loaded unusably heavily" or something?
