how do i stop a tcp ServerSocket from occupyuing a port? i tried .close .awaitClose() and .dispose() but as long as the program is running it's not letting any other programs listen on that port

I cannot reproduce it with the following code:

suspend fun main() = coroutineScope {
    val selector = ActorSelectorManager(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>)
    val server = aSocket(selector).tcp().bind(InetSocketAddress("127.0.0.1", 2323))

    launch {
        delay(5000)
        server.close()
    }

    while (true) {}
}

After five seconds the command netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep 2323 starts returning nothing. Could you please share a code snippet to reproduce your problem?
