The idea is to run a simple test, that does not have the risk of
incurring in a timeout.

Also, if the server authentication file says that Emacs process PID is
using port P, and there's really an Emacs of pid PID but it is no
longer answering to requests on port P, that is PID's problem, not the
current instance's.
