endless waits on socket when process has died

[faramirza]

4949 stays in a listening state if munin-node dies under certain scenarios.

This does not happen often but when it does I need to restart the server running the node to get Munin-node to listen on 4949 correctly again.

Findings:
netstat -nao
TCP 0.0.0.0:4949 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 6000

taskkill /PID 6000 /F
ERROR: The process "6000" not found.

Possible solution to avoid endless waits on the socket:

Really late but.. what state is the TCP connection in? Can you take a wireshark/netmon trace on the machine running munin-node at the time the issue occurs and share it?
