multicastReceiver can crash leaving unclosable socket #4

Prelude Network.Multicast> multicastReceiver "224.0.0.99" 9999 *\ Exception: addMembership: failed (Unknown error -1) Prelude Network.Multicast>

This crash occurred because I had taken down all the machine's interfaces that supported multicast. The crash itself is acceptable; the problem is that it's already opened a network socket by the time it crashes, and this socket cannot be closed and so we have a nasty leak.

The fix for this bug will probably be similar to the fix for #2 ...
