After removing the SO_REUSEADDR flag, this has been working without any pauses, delays or hitches on my WinXP Python2.5 install. I sometimes have as many as 8 separate instances of IDLE running in parallel, with no side effects. About the SO_REUSEADDR flag, I'm wondering if this is still required on Posix systems now that we're choosing random ports. If so, we should choose whether to use this flag based on the OS. Is there any good reason -not- to choose a random port? I can't think of any.
