nsclient++ service locks socket

[dvayntrub@…]

The service seems to occasionally not release the socket on service shut down or service restart preventing binding to the socket on next service start. This is confirmed with both, 64 and 32 bit versions, and this was not the case prior to version 0.3.8

This will be fixed in 0.4.x.

Is there a work around for this besides rebooting the server or change the port? We have experience the same thing on our Windows 2008 R2 servers and some servers are really critical so we prefer to not reboot it.

This is fixed in 0.4.x AFAIK (if not let me know)
