+// QUICStream::SendSync returns once msquic has taken its buffer, and throws
+// only when that send failed. It used to wait on one flag per stream and,
+// once woken, throw QUICClosedException whenever the stream had finished
+// shutting down meanwhile, though its own send had completed. A peer that
+// answers at once and finishes the stream (here: echo, FIN, and drop the
+// stream, whose Stop() stops our sending side too) can complete the stream
+// within a round trip, which on loopback is shorter than a busy machine can
+// take to wake the sending thread: the sender threw for a send the peer had
+// already answered.
+//
+// The race needs the sending thread to be descheduled at the wrong moment,
+// so no test hits it every time. The shape that showed it: the first stream
+// of a fresh connection, four connections at once, one exchange each; a
+// throwaway run of that shape threw once in 3000 exchanges, the echo of the
+// failed send arriving intact. Here 2000 such exchanges must all return
+// from SendSync, and all be echoed.
