Hi,

I have some tests using the PocketIC (rust). After a certain amount of tests ( 18 ), PocketIc seems to stop working and times out

```panicked
'post' request to PocketIC server timed out.

```

When i run the failed tests individually they pass but when they run in a group of tests they fail. The failing tests appear at the end of the group of tests and are the last two to be tested.

I found before that increasing ulimit options helped when i was running too many tests but increasing this doesn’t seem to help anymore.

```bash
   ulimit -n 202400
   ulimit -f 2024000

```

Pocket IC version : pocket-ic-server 4.0.0  
OS : MacOS

I updated to the latest pocket-ic-server and rust package and that seems to have fixed it
