All,

  I've noticed that when a UML reboots it will not free any port it was
using, and open another one.  Case in point: when using vde_switch.
Connect a UML to vde_switch using something like:

# vde_switch -s /tmp/switch1
# linux ubda=cow1,myfs umid=uml1 eth0=tuntap,tap0 eth1=vde,/tmp/switch1

  In vde_switch use 'port/print' to see which PID is using which port.

  reboot the UML.  Go back to vde_switch and now there are two ports for
the same PID.

  Shutdown the UML and in vde_switch the PID is not there anymore.

  Has anyone come up with a fix regarding this ?  It looks like UML
should release the resource when rebooting and then use another one.
Or keep the resource and not use another one.

  Any thoughts on this appreciated.
