Either use the TCP connection refused patch I posted to the list a while back
or upgrade the 2.0.30 to 2.0.31 or 2.0.32. There's a really annoying bug in
the late 2.0.x's fixed in 2.0.31 that causes 'fake' connection failures
(failure
to bind to addr 0). Anyone who runs Linux should REALLY upgrade to 2.0.32
anyway to avoid the 'teardrop' problem.
