 I am running wide-dhcpv6-client on my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter ERLITE-3
 (which takes the package from Debian, and the version is 20080615-12,
 i.e. current testing).
 
 I am using this “script”:
 
 #!/bin/sh
 /etc/init.d/radvd restart
 exit 0
 
 I noticed that after stopping wide-dhcpv6-client, I could not start it
 again. It would always complain about not being able to bind:
 
 bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(5546), inet_pton(AF_INET6, 
 ::1, sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EADDRINUSE 
 (Address already in use)
 write(2, Aug/11/2014 19:01:13: dhcp6_ctl_init: bind(control sock): Address 
 already in use\n, 81) = 81
 
 It seemed strange to me that ::1:5546 was already in use, but netstat
 -anp identified radvd as having that port open. Since radvd’s code does
 not ever open that port, I checked its file descriptors, and it turns
 out that radvd indeed inherited the file descriptors from
 wide-dhcpv6-client, including the listening port and the configuration
 file file descriptor.
 
 In order to prevent this bug, wide-dhcpv6-client should use the CLOEXEC
 option on all its file descriptors.
