Seems to hang, or does hang?  Using print statements will tell you whether
that's where it's getting stuck or not.

This should be 'data = work_socket.recv(1024)'.

This script works for me with that change.  (i.e. I can run it with port
2005 already in use, connect to the port, and it will finish without error).
