>Description:

When using gdb to debug a program that listens on one or more sockets,
killing the program using the gdb "kill" command does not cause the
sockets to be fully freed as they would be if the process exited.  If
the program is then restarted using the "run" command, it will be
unable to bind to the sockets as they are "already in use".  This
makes debugging network daemons under NetBSD awkward.

This bug affects at least NetBSD 1.4 and 1.5, on i386 and sparc.
It does not matter whether the SO_REUSEADDR socket option is set.

On other operating systems, gdb does *not* exhibit this behavior.

>How-To-Repeat:

    $ cat test.c
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/socket.h>
    #include <netinet/in.h>
    #include <err.h>

    main() {
	    int s, r;
	    struct sockaddr_in local;
	    struct sockaddr_in remote;
	    socklen_t len;

	    memset(&local, 0, sizeof local);
	    local.sin_port = htons(5555);

	    s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
	    if (s < 0)
		    err(1, "socket");
	    r = bind(s, (struct sockaddr *) &local, sizeof local);
	    if (r < 0)
		    err(1, "bind");
	    r = listen(s, 5);
	    if (r < 0)
		    err(1, "listen");
	    accept(s, (struct sockaddr *) &remote, &len);
    }

>Fix:

Unknown.  As a workaround, use the gdb commands "signal SIGKILL"
and "continue" instead of "kill".
