[Bug 331535] [NEW] iperf fails to die when bind fails

[Dinger]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: iperf

When iperf is ran as an normal user, and you tell it to listen on a
privileged port (anything below 1024), it should die when the bind
fails. Instead, it acts as if its still listening on the port you
specified.

bwindle at wh-mon06:~$ apt-cache policy iperf
