FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, Catalyst 5.66:

[Mon Apr 24 17:29:56 2006] [catalyst] [info] Application powered by 
Catalyst 5.66
Couldn't create daemon: Address already in use at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Catalyst/Engine/HTTP.pm line 135.

admin at ds645# netstat -p tcp
Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)

TIME_WAIT

The above happens whether or not the test server is started with the 
"-r" flag (I get the same problem if I stop the server with Ctrl-C). 
Using bash instead of tcsh makes no difference. No other processes are 
using port 3000.

On the suggestion of a few people on IRC I have tried inserting

$SIG{INT} = sub{exit(0)};

in the test server code, but to no avail.

Waiting about 10 seconds then manually reinvoking the test server avoids 
the error, but is a PITA and does rather defeat the object of having a 
self-restarting server.
