This is normally because there is a connection in the TIME_WAIT state
(see "netstat -tn").
You can get around this problem by calling
const int one = 1;
setsockopt(sock_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &one, sizeof(one));
before calling bind(), although it's probably better to just wait for
the old connections to complete the TIME_WAIT interval; it's there for
a reason.
