By default, a socket is kept in a semi-open state for a short period of time
after you close it. This is called "lingering." 16 is the maximum number
of sockets you can have open at one time. You need to set the SockLinger
option on the sockets you open to false, so they actually close when you
tell them to. See the docs for NetLibSocketOptionSet.
