On Unix, when we stop the server, and then re-start it right away, we get an error that the address is already in use: http://www.softlab.ntua.gr/facilities/documentation/unix/unix-socket-faq/unix-socket-faq-4.html#ss4.1 This means that the sockets that were used by the first incarnation of the server are still active.
