Did you have an active connection before restarting?
In HylaFAX, we had the same situation and went to using SO_REUSEADDR:
http://bugs.hylafax.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217
The problem appears if there *was* a connection, and the server was
stopped. Then the server can't bind again until the TIME_WAIT
connection goes away. Using SO_REUSEADDR allows the new server to
listen again right away.
