Browser close/open issue watir-webdriver using IE

Hi, at the end of execution I see that there is a browser window which
is not closed, but was expected to be closed. I see following error:

Start of server failedset_ports_option: cannot bind to 5555: No errorNo
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

How to rescue that error?
I am not able to catch it either by
rescue => e
or
rescue Exception=>e

"rescue Exception" will rescue anything. More likely you're trying to
rescue this within the wrong block of code.

It's extremely bad practice to rescue Exception, although I assume
you're just using that to make a point rather than as a matter of course
in your code.
