[Debian-iot-maintainers] Bug#892491: SO_REUSEADDR is set

[Joachim Zobel]

Since SO_REUSEADDR is (and was for at least 9 years) set this is most
likely not caused by existing connections in status TIME_WAIT.

See net.c:
#ifndef WIN32
		ss_opt = 1;
		/* Unimportant if this fails */
		(void)setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR,
&ss_opt, sizeof(ss_opt));
#endif

So the likely cause is a premature start of the new process.

Unfortunately I currently can not reproduce this.
