Public bug reported:
On a Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) box with no listener on port 8095, I type this
echo 1 | nc -u -w 1 127.0.0.1 8095
and the command does not return. On my workstation (Ubuntu 17.10), where
also nothing listens on 8095, NC returns immediately, which is what I'd
expect.
Adding the -v flag causes nc to return immediately (with status 1 rather
than 0).
I would expect sending a UDP packet always to succeed quickly if a
network interface exists.
Note that this behaviour does not exist in netcat 1.178 (on ubuntu
17.10), so this is only a bug against the version still running in
16.04.4 LTS.
