I have noticed a couple of times now that sending a SIGHUP to
the server will fail. The problem seems to be that some children
are slow to shutdown, and the server will fail to re-bind the port.

The failure mode is a dead server since it cannot restart on first
attempt.

Hmmm... the pids of the kids are all in the scoreboard file... waitpid()
for all of them before reopening the socket should do it. Fix forthcoming...

[probably tonight, unfortunately]
