Bug#256916: Definite kernel bug
This definitely looks like a kernel bug. I have been developing a
network app recently, and ran into exactly the same problem: the
program crashes leaving its listening socket open. lsof doesn't list
the socket. netstat -tpl lists the socket but doesn't have a process
listed for it (this is as root so there *should* be a process listed).
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 *:2345 *:* LISTEN -
tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 813/apache
...
The problem is that now I have to reboot since all future attempts to
bind on port 2345 fail.
I run a pristine 2.6.8.1 kernel rather than a debian kernel (so this is
obviously not a debian bug).
Regards,
Matt
