Sorry, this should read: a socket is already opened by BGP for 
communication with a remote peer, and an assertion to catch this 
condition is being triggered:

The condition may be benign on UNIX platforms, the paranoid assertion 
only existed to catch problems with Winsock, where we map each socket 
directly onto a Win32 'Event' object. Leaking Events is really bad, it 
is a non-issue for other platforms, because they don't have 'Event' objects.
