[ale] Forcing the TIME_WAIT issue

[jb at sourceillustrated.com (John Wells)]

I posted something similar to this awhile back, but don't think I ever got
a definitive answer.

I have a Tcl module that listens on port 2000 on Solaris 2.6. When I stop
the process (essentially a kill), it leaves the port in TIME_WAIT for
approx. 4 minutes iirc.  I understand the logic behind this, but is there
anyway to free up the port and force it out of TIME_WAIT?

Thanks!
John
