REPOST: UDP port not releasing?

I have been running a Half-Life server on port 27016 for a month.  All of
a sudden, I can't bind to the port that it's supposed to run on
(27016/udp).  Netstat says that there's a recv-q for it, but no program is
listening on the port.  How can I resolve this without rebooting?

[root at redbox ~]# netstat -unlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address   Foreign Address  State  PID/Program name
udp     3680      0 0.0.0.0:27015   0.0.0.0:*               13450/hlds_amd

[root at redbox ~]# lsof|grep 2701
