Issue #11: daemonize after opening listen port.

The listen port should be opened before daemonizing otherwise if
opening the port fails, the user will get no feedback. The only
complication was that the listen socket needs to not be closed as part
of daemonizing.

Thanks to http://github.com/rickr for finding it.
