[Live-devel] Strange problem when spawning multiple instances of Live555 programs

Be sure to set the "reuseFirstSource" parameter to "True" when 
creating each "ServerMediaSubsession" object.

I suspect you're running into some internal OS limit here - e.g., 
maximum number of sockets or open files.  If so, then this may be 
something that you can reconfigure.

Apart from this, I don't have anything else to suggest right now, 
unfortunately.
