Summary: Guarantee socket channel name unique

Initial Comment:
In a dynamic server/monitor app I have many socket 
connections being created and eventually closed. Each 
connection represents some system component process 
that needs to be monitored. I find on Windows that the 
socket string "sockNNN" is often reused. If each 
connection got a unique socketNNN* the managing logic 
could be quite a bit simpler as it could use the socket 
channel handle as representing a unique connection 
instance. I suppose wrap-around at 2^31 would not 
realistically effect the code.  Canvas ID's currently 
follow this sort of uniqueness rule and it is indeed helpful.
