#3336 ucsim: dead connection if sim started with non-existing file from -C switch

[Mike St]

I attempt to start the s51 as a TCP server with port 8000. Then I pick "abc" as the name of the non-existing file.

In one window I execute:

s51 -Z8000 -C abc

In another window I execute:

telnet 127.0.0.1 8000

I get this as a result with no further contents on the screen:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

But if I change "abc" to a file that does exist with valid s51 commands then I receive this as expected when connecting with telnet:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

What I was expecting when issuing s51 command on a non-existing file was a warning or some error message.

Also, if I remove the -Z option to execute s51 locally with a non-existing file, then the program appears to start as normal while making no mention that the file specified as a parameter does not exist.
