There may be (very) a small lag between the return of the bind() call 
until the bind is registered on all the other nodes.
The proper way to get around this is to let your "publishers" use the 
TIPC subscription mechanism to keep track of your
"subscriber", i.e., they don´t start publishing until they have received 
a notification that the subscriber is bound
to the service address/range.
