Setup phase in test_port_shadow() relied upon a race-condition: Listening nc on port 1405 was started in background before attempting to create the fake conntrack entry using the same source port. If listening nc won, fake conntrack entry could not be created causing wrong behaviour. Reorder nc calls to fix this and introduce a short delay before testing the setup to wait for listening nc process startup.
