[Haskell-beginners] Best way to stop listening on a port.

[Patrick LeBoutillier]

Hi,

Could this have something to do with SO_REUSEADDR?
This could be the case if you interrupt the server while some clients
are connected to it.

If so, I think the Haskell way to set this is: setSocketOption socket
ReuseAddr 1
