You may have either two different apps trying to open or
control the same port(socket) address. Or multiple
instances of the same application
trying to use the same socket at the same time.

For example, you may have two mailer processes monitoring the same
directory and trying to use port 25 to send mail whenever
a file is dropped into that directory.

It is possible that the app which errors is writing to the event log.
Check there and see if there is anything relevant.
