Howdy! I hope someone can explain this behaviour to me; The kernel seems to make a stream port "un-rebindable" within 60 seconds after another stream-server-process has had the port bound. The easiest way to illustrate (with port/sysutils/socket): Terminal one: Terminal two: socket -s 19191 telnet localhost 19191 ^C Connection closed by foreign host socket -s 19191 socket: server socket: Address already in use [wait 60 seconds] ...and socket -s 19191 will succeed again. What is causing this? This behaviour causes my application to fail a critical requirement and there must surely be something wrong with my (aswell as socket(1)'s) interaction with the tcp/ip stack?
