it's not I can't bind the address, my problem is: server is long run. if client die without "disconnect" then server will leak one socket. 

by using the built-in thread socket server. the extra tcp port are opened by built-in class itself.
if the handler() is finish correctly (the line with break) then this socket will get cleaned up. but if client dies, then I am never get out from that True loop. so the socket will keep in close_wait
