- There is a discussion of this subject going on in comp.unix.internals. Someone there
- had access to the source code, and in checking the coding of the SO_REUSEADDR
- flag, determined that it doesn't work, which corresponded with my experiences in
- attempting to use it as well. If anyone else has any insights into this problem of
- closing sockets so that they can be immediately re-used, I'd be very interested
- in hearing them.

- Thanx,
