Summary: SocketServer/socket allow_reuse_address 

Initial Comment:
The SocketServer.TCPServer.server_bind() method
contains the following code:

        if self.allow_reuse_address:
            self.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET,
socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
        self.socket.bind(self.server_address)

On SunOS and Linux (possibly others) this only appears
to work if the third argument is changed to "2". 
Perhaps this is also a bug with the lower-level socket
package's setsockopt() function (I mean, perhaps it
*should* work with a value of "1").
