The actions that caused that seem to be:

- Set the MPTCP subflows limit to 0 - Create an MPTCP endpoint with both the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags - Create a new MPTCP connection from a different address: an ADD_ADDR linked to the MPTCP endpoint will be sent ('signal' flag), but no subflows is initiated ('subflow' flag) - Remove the MPTCP endpoint
