Description

When attempting to run the server, if one of the needed listening ports is in use (tested for http and ssl), then the follow error is returned.

[Mar 15 14:40:09.427] Server

{682633120}

FATAL: <HttpAccept.cc:98 (mainEvent)> HTTP accept received fatal error: errno = 9
NOTE: Traffic Server received Sig 11: Segmentation fault: 11

It seems to me that a) this error is not very readable b) the program probably shouldn't be segfaulting under any conditions.

I'm not certain if these are considered to be issues or not to the Traffic Server team, but I figured it would be worth reporting.

It is possible that this has something to do with the way that I am running traffic server, since the freebsd trafficserver rc script is not ported yet. I am just executing the traffic_server binary directly for testing purposes. I don't have Traffic Server running in any other environments to test though.
