I'd probably start by patching the places in the tcp code
(src/sys/netinet/tcp_usrreq.c)  which returns this error
(Its returned in other places but that seems to me to be the most
likely from your description.)

Insert some code to print out information about the current socket and
the "oinp" value returned from in_pcbconnect_setup() (if this is the
place where the error occured.)

Finding out more about the socket thats been created and what its
clashing with might help. I'd do it myself but I'm not sure how to
duplicate the issue.
