/*
 * The purpose of this test is to make sure that when forking a process,
 * sending a fd representing a UDP socket to the child and sending messages
 * to this endpoint, these messages are distributed to the parent and the
 * child process.
 *
 * Because it's not really possible to predict how the messages will be
 * distributed among the parent and the child processes, we keep sending
 * messages until both the parent and the child received at least one
 * message. The worst case scenario is when either one never receives
 * a message. In this case the test runner will timeout after 60 secs
 * and the test will fail.
