I thought that was the cause too - and probably is with the patch I posted. However, in my testing I am now killing the parent process before my call to system() with the same result. I'm pretty certain it's a case of the socket not being released properly when the first server shuts down. This could have something to do with filehandles/sockets being shared when you fork() - I think the use of kill() might mean that there are references to them still hanging around.

Incidentally (and OT), I think the code in the test server could be simplified somewhat using IO::Socket.
