opened socket in IDE prevents script changes

[Bernard Devlin]

Hi Alex

- no plugins using sockets
- Business 9.6.1
- no other debuggers/editors in use or used (I have crashed/restarted LC a
few dozen times today)
- no remote debugging

This is just a plain old stack, only a mouseup in a button, everything else
in the stack script.

I'm going to have to look back at my previous socket project to see what I
was doing there that was different.

It seems to me that this is what is going on: LC loads the script & the
socket interaaction makes it impossible for any script change to be
applied. Feels like the engine is simply not "letting go" in order to
reload the script.  Very peculiar, as I would expect that closing each of
the open sockets would release whatever was bound and stopping the script
changes from being applied.

Thanks for testing & showing that it's something idiosyncratic to me.

Regards,
Bernard
