I think I saw the same error, but only once, so I assumed it was
something else happening on my system.

If it's occurring regularly, then there may be a problem with
releasing the port from previous tests in the same class.

However, I have just seen a problem in the TFTPServer code - the
constructors call launch() which creates a new thread and starts it.
This is not thread-safe, as the class is not guaranteed to be fully
constructed until after the constructor has completed. There are some
other thread-safety problems too; I'll raise a JIRA.

I don't know if it relates to the test failure or not - I suppose the
unsafe constructor could mean that shutdown does not happen reliably.
