- In our new SVR4 kernel, bind() to a unix domain socket creates a file
- with the name specified in the bind call. But if the process is killed,
- the file stays around, and when the process comes up again, it cannot
- bind to the same name, and gets EADDRINUSE, even though there isn't
- a valid socket using that name.

- How do others get around this problem?
-
- Thanks.
