This has been around for as long as I can recall. From inspection, Linux
won't let you bind to that address again because the socket is stuck in one of
the terminal states (FIN1? 2? CLOSING? I forget...) for 60 (or is it 62?)
after your app closes the socket. It makes debugging socket-based
applications really annoying :)

So what gives? Neither Solaris nor SunOS (the two other OSes I have to use at
work) behave in this fashion...
