I am writing a server on a FreeBSD machine., and am having problems with sockets which are stuck in the CLOSE_WAIT state. I usually notice this error when I kill the server, and try to start it again, it gives an "Address in use" error, because there is a socket on the port,. in the CLOSE_WAIT state. But the program that had that socket open is no longer running. So, why isn't the socket being closed when the process terminates? Any ideas would be appreciated.
