Avoid setting the value '1' in the MR. If this does happen then the
server will send two consecutive packets, regardless of the client's
state. This can cause the application to hang. If the client reaches
the busy-wait loop after the second write then it'll hang in the loop
forever, waiting for the value of the first write.
