Neither do I have this emacs thing (and I don't want to install
it). Anyway, this bug sounds like a fork cleanup problem. Process
forks child. child opens socket. childs goes away without closing
socket. Partent goes away too, and socket stays around as zombie.
But how to reproduce... Maybe I will look into it a bit more but
no promises.
