The stack assumes that SO_REUSEADDR is never cleared on a socket after 
it gets set.

Did you close the affected socket in (5) ?

Presumably you are still trying to use the same port; is it a 
non-ephemeral port? You might want to consider SO_REUSEPORT although I 
believe FreeBSD doesn't fully support it for non-multicast.
