seems that such would only partly solve the issue; if you look at today's autobuilds then you can see that even after I killed manually the hung processes the ports still remain unusable....
so unless someone has a good idea how to re-activate these ports it wouldnt help much, only for the non-SSL ports probably....
it seems that only a reboot can really cure this issue -- which is totally bad....
so we really need to find out what makes the ftp test server hanging around...

another idea would be to make the test servers self-terminating after a timeout of 5 or 10 minutes if that's possible...
