Problem:
if you try to start local socket server on unix using QLocalServer for IPC and the server crashed without closing , then when you try to start it again, listen will fail unless you change the serverName you are listening on...
here is a sample code:
proposed solution:
when the local socket server starts, it creates a file in /tmp with the name of the server, so next attempt to listen will find this address in use, you should remove the file /tmp/serverName to be able to start again.
