Can you provide more information on how to interpret the console dump,
and in particular, which of your syscalls is returning the EADDRINUSE
error? I'm pretty sure this is just a bug in your socket
stack/emulation. It looks like it's coming from recvfrom, and
EADDRINUSE is not a valid error for recvfrom to produce.
