@alexcrichton helped me find this the hard way. was running vlc by accident. [this test](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/blob/e9c30ebaaf1e8d83ecfb6720b98c1429e3723146/src/libstd/io/mod.rs#L86-L99) The test is a should fail, but doesn't since another process is listening on the port.
