This line (374) will not be able to get executed until the client
finished its job (line 347).

When line 374 get called, the test is nearly done (client complete its
jobs, and server accepted all connections). serverThread.join(120000) is
just want to make sure that if the termination of this thread is not
scheduled to complete within the overall testing timeout, it can be
better controlled here.

Actually, there are four server threads in this test. Only the latest
one is joined.  It's not a good practice.  But as the update to re-org
the test is huge, I don't want to touch this point this time.
