Yeah, I'm employing REUSEADDR but the problem is
that I am relaunching a process that died and left
a previous bind()ing behind.  When the process is
launched again, bind() fails because the TCP/IP
stack claims there's already a process listening
on that UDP port.  REUSEADDR doesn't solve that
problem, alas.  }:-}
