Nice find Nusenu, when loading tor using --verify-config sockets
should be created to allow rebinding by later process invocations.
Sounds like SO_REUSEADDR needs to be used when invoking tor including
the verify-config option. Your kernel is seeing a socket in time_wait
state and the back to back calls are a racing against this state.
