How come I get "address already in use" from bind()?
You get this when the address is already in use. (Oh, you figured
that much out?) The most common reason for this is that you have
stopped your server, and then re-started it right away. The sockets
that were used by the first incarnation of the server are still
active. This is further explained in ``2.7 Please explain the
TIME_WAIT state.'', and ``2.5 How do I properly close a socket?''.
