I'm working on a Python app that creates a tcp socket and listens on a
port. Sometimes I've found that after I've killed the process, the
socket still remains. When I did a netstat -t, I saw that the socket
is still in the fin-wait-1 state. When I did a ps -ef, I couldn't see
any process still alive that the socket was attached to.

Is there some way to kill the socket is this instance? Being in
fin-wait, it eventually kills itself, but I couldn't restart the
Python app until it had done so.
