I don't think this is precisely how SO_REUSEADDR works on BSDish
machines like MacOS X (grin).   I think it only lets you bind to a TCP
port while there's still a connection waiting to close, not when some
other process has a socket open and bound to that port.   :'(

This would work.

So would this.

Well, kinda.  You have to identify yourself to them to get the source,
which I find kind of bothersome.   Sigh.   But if you don't mind that,
it's certainly an improvement over no source at all!
