Re: inetd[585]: portmap/tcp: bind: Address already in use

I came across this thread. Now it's slightly different than your problem. They were trying to make the connection and yours implies one has been made and your unable to make another because it's busy...
For the busy you might try using lsof utility and see what other process is using that port.
But I felt this thread brought up an important issue you may want to consider:

You can also use netstat -a | grep xxx
where xxx is the port in question.
