Well it's worth checking. But whereas Windows breaking our understanding of what SO_REUSEADDR does doesn't actually violate any specification, not having a TIME_WAIT state at all would certainly violate the TCP spec. So it's somewhat unlikely that that's what they're doing. But anything's possible. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
