This is how it should work, but for some reason netstat still shows  
the process as listening even after closing the listener file  
descriptors. I'll try to figure out later what the problem is. Perhaps  
some stupid mistake that I'm not noticing now, or perhaps it has  
something to do with the fd being opened by the master process and  
transferred to a forked child process..
