It will time out after a while. To prevent it happening again, find out
how to get perl to call setsockopt with the SO_REUSEADDR option.
A quick look at "perldoc IO::Socket::INET" reveals:
In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by IO::Socket,
"IO::Socket::INET" provides.
[...]
ReuseAddr Set SO_REUSEADDR before binding
[...]
I am not at all familiar with the SpamAssassin code, but see if you can
figure out where to add in the "ReuseAddr => 1" option, if it's not
there already.
If it is there already, I don't know what the problem is.
