Got a non-list-cc'd message from Aaron saying it looked good to him, and I have received no objections.

So I merged the change. NDT over SSL is now significantly more reliable! Hooray!

Hello!

I just made a new pull request to bring in all the bugfixes to NDT that have helped out MLab over the past 6 months.

Check it out at:

   https://github.com/ndt-project/ndt/pull/215

I had previously talked with Aaron and he said it would be fine if I just merged it, but I wanted to make sure that if anyone objected to this merge they would have a chance to tell me to stop.

So the pull request is linked above, and I will merge it in a week if there are no objections. It is a purely bugfix pull request:

• Fixes some reliability issues around SSL.
  
• Fixes SSL error handling.
  
• Fixes some watchdog timer issues that led to hanging child processes.
  
• Fixes a pthread deadlock bug.
  
• Prevents children from hanging forever when packet capture fails to start.
  
• Makes sure that all variables are initialized before use.
  
• Unit tests now double-check that a port is available before assuming they can set up a server on a random high-numbered port.
