This is a TCP thing. Basically, the kernel doesn't let you kill a server and
start a new one lest the network delivers a delayed packet to the new server
that was intended for the old server.

There's probably a way to get around this with IOCTL and something with the
word REUSE in it, but it tends to vary from OS to OS.
