YunClient connect() will be blocked after 256 retry times...

I have an Arduino Yun board, in which I wrote a TCP Client side to connect to a Server side(running on my PC).
My requirement is that client side retries to connect to server side endlessly if the Server side hasn't been started up.
I have the following codes to do that:

#include <Bridge.h>
#include <YunClient.h>

YunClient client;
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 43, 1 };
int port = 4444;
int count = 0;


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
  Bridge.begin();
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);
  Serial.begin(9600);

  //while (!Serial); // wait for a serial connection

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Serial.print("Connect begin..."); Serial.println(count++);
  if (client.connect(ip, port)) {
    Serial.println("connected");
    digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
    // do something in a loop.
  } else {
    Serial.println("Can not connect, retry...");
  }
  client.stop();
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);
  delay(2000);
}

The problem is: the program will be blocked ( should be in client.connect(ip, port)) when the retry times exceed 256 (i.e. count>256). In this case, I have to do the power reset of the board to recover... :~
Did I miss something other than "client.stop()" ?
