Thanks, I altered my top level request handler as follows
mysmartserver conf h stateProxy = do
socket <- bindPort conf
<I added (setSocketOption socket ReuseAddr 1) here>
<Should this be added in a comment, or even in function code,
in Happstack.Server.SimpleHTTP? What are the tradeoffs, when would you
*not* want ot use ReuseAddr?)
webserverTid <- forkIO $ simpleHTTPWithSocket socket conf h
putStrLn . ( "starting happs server" ++ ) =<< time
control <- startSystemState stateProxy -- start the HAppS state
system
putStrLn . ( "happs state started" ++ ) =<< time
waitForTermination
killThread webserverTid
stateShutdown control
I can't replicate the error reliably so I won't know if it actually
fixed the problem for a while, therefore just leaving this cookie
crumb trail in case others may find it helpful.
