Try running 'killall pd' to make sure there isn't a hung pd process  
still running.  Otherwise, you have to wait for the OS to free the  
network port.  That's not a pd-specific problem, but network sockets  
in general.

Terrorism is not an enemy.  It cannot be defeated.  It's a tactic.   
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and  
expect we're going to win that war.  We're not going to win the war  
on terrorism.        - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
