fork() isn't threading. That's why a child would get a copy at all.

Have you checked the return values for every command you do, including close(), etc? Maybe the FD number is getting corrupted somewhere which causes close to fail.

I am assuming you have the TIMED_WAIT problem. See this for more information

@jim , @Corona688 - Thank you for the help. Setsockopt helped. I guess it was due to TIME_WAIT the port was held for some period.
