The client queues write requests until the connection handshake is

If that is true then why is the first message from the client lost if I do
this?
Note that on my machine (OSX) the message is lost if the timeout is 2 ms or
more, but not if it is less than 2.
Maybe the client queues write requests until the connListener function
completes.

server.js

var net = require('net');
function dataListener(data) {
  console.log('received', data.toString());

function connListener(socket) {
  setTimeout(function () {
    socket.on('data', dataListener);
  }, 2);
var server = net.createServer(connListener);
server.listen(8019);

client.js

var net = require('net');
var socket = net.connect(8019);
socket.write('Is this lost?');
