Description

PROTON-603 testCreditReclaim exposes another issue on Windows platforms. After the test failed at some assert then the teardown() function had another assert because the server never stopped. The second assert overwrites the first assert and hides the original error.

teardown() can't call client2.work or stimulate client2 to shut down. This leaves the server stuck.

The proposed fix is to promote client2 to be a class member and drive it in parallel with client and server. Other miscellaneous tweaks are required to get the package working on windows. Please see the review board entry.
