This is purely a luasocket behaviour. The system calls allow bind() to

This behaviour of luasocket is particularly anti-social when
attempting to repeatedly bind to local ports, to search for one that
is free.

Is there any update on this issue?  Is it safe to remove, in inet_trybind, socket_destroy(ps) ?   Or is that destruction relied on elsewhere (ex:   socket.bind) ?
