Setting the SO_REUSEADDR option allows the local socket address to be

all existing sockets with the desired local address are in a connected
state before bind() is called for a new socket.
The bit about "connected state" is relevant here --- a listening socket
isn't connected. Time for more caffeine.
That's what I thought it meant. I am glad to see that I am not quite as
out of date as I thought I must be reading upthread :-)
