That's EADDRINUSE, which generally happens when you're trying to bind
to a port that's already bound.  It sounds like your client machine is
giving you only a very small number of ephemeral ports (about 150!? 
there should be tens of thousands).  Have you tried running the code
on an operating system that doesn't suck?
