There existed a race condition in
serial_tcp.c
where the unit static variabletcpThreadRunning
could be read by a TCP reader thread before it was set in the main thread. The result (only seen on kvm virtualised Windows) being that the socket appeared bound, but a client could not interact with it.As the variable serves no useful purpose, remove it and the race condition.
