Sockets

	Here's on for all you sockets fans out there. I have stream
sockets. One process creates and binds to the socket. Another process
connects to the socket.

	If something bad happens and both processes exit without closing
the socket, is there a way to close the socket. The process that bound
the socket has not properly closed it. And the reading process has died.
In effect leaving a orphaned socket.

	Can you get rid of this thing short of rebooting?
