This is a temporary problem.  The inet address will stay "in use" until 
the operating system gets around to noticing that it is not in fact in 
use.  That can take several minutes unfortunately.  Since you are on a 
localhost sort of machine, try saying tv=local on the command line.
That often works better and should not have this issue.
