I have a server daemon process that is leaving the socket bound upon
exiting. It is actually a C++ program using the socket++-1.10 class
library but uses the usual socket library calls. When I kill the server
and try to restart it, it seems that the port is still in use. Basically
the server does a fork() after the accept(). THe parent process closes
the new socket and the child process closes the original socket does its
thing and then exit() s. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
