APR leaves port bound when terminated?

[Sean Neeley]

Hi,   I’m using APR 1.2.2 with Tomcat 5.5.15.  Occasionally I need to restart the JVM, and so I have one of my servlets call System.exit(0).  When using the APR libraries with tomcat, exiting the JVM in this manor leaves port 8009 in the FIN_WAIT2 state (see netstat man page).  This prevents me from starting tomcat back up immediately.  I receive an error saying that the tomcat port is already bound.  If I remove the APR libraries so that tomcat does not use them, I no longer encounter this problem.  Can someone help?  I would like to use APR, but this problem prevents me.  Thanks.   - Sean
