"Address already in use" error at connection

[bsipocz]

I'm playing with the example notebook example_notebooks/imexam_ginga_example.ipynb. Third cell (a=imexam.connect(viewer='ginga')) given the following error.

I may have other sessions open from separate ipython terminals, but even if that is the case, I would have expect a new session being opened.

I think this is a rolling bug, I can't reproduce on my end right now. I do have logic in the server startup that tries to pick an open port, it could probably use improving. @bsipocz do you get this issue every time you startup?
