Package: nagios-statd-server
Version: 3.09-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When restarting nagios-statd I often get a 'Address already in use'.

This patch fixes this, by setting SO_REUSEADDR in the server and the
test listening socket.

It also fixes the output of the error message to actually include the
reason why bind() failed:
