Well I was surprised of this result since the ipc doors thread model
seems superior, but I ran my tests several time with the same results.
I don't think it comes from the machine, since the problem happened on a
production machine with normal traffic, and on a test box with agressive
concurrent authentication requests.

I will switch to unix doors in production, but I would prefer to track
down this problem. Any idea how I might do that ?
