How to get TIdHTTPServer to bind

[AncientHacker]

I have an app that starts up just fine and starts a HTTP server on port 8181. (using delphi indy TIdHTTPServer)

All that is fine.

But sometimes the app crashes and leaves a dangling listener apparently, because when I re-run the app it says "Bind-- port already in use".

Surely there is some way to usurp a dead server port.

Any ideas appreciated.

I would investigate why the app crashes.
This would prevent the bind problem.

when the app crashes, is it still in the process list (taskmanager)?
