I'm trying to rebind to a unix socket. But
shutdown doesn't unbind a previously bound socket:
Unix.bind socket sock_addr;
Unix.listen socket maxConnections;
...
Unix.shutdown socket Unix.SHUTDOWN_ALL;
...
Unix.bind another_socket sock_addr; (* raises bind exception *)

I believe you need to close the first socket with Unix.close. Also,
depending on whether the SO_REUSEADDR option is set or not, you may
have to wait a few seconds before being able to re-bind on the same
address.

Answer: use Unix.close and SO_REUSEADDR.
