/*
Setting the SO_REUSEADDR flag on a socket behaves differently on Windows than on *NIX OS.
On *NIX OS, the flag is used for handling specific edge cases and allows the port to be reused
while busy only during TIME_WAIT state in the short period after termination.
On Windows, the option allows a socket to forcibly bind to a port in use by another socket in any
state.
This was allowing more than one socket to be created in the same port on Windows, which is
unnexpected behavior.
