Well, if you would just quit telnet (or whatever) normally instead of
using SIGKILL the socket should be close()d automatically and the
server would see that the connection was closed.

I don't any portable way. Under NetBSD you can use sysctl(3) but that's
a system-wide limit setting. I'd rather use an appropriate timeout
value for select() and look for idle connections.
