error: bind: Address already in use

I'm confused by this error from sshd. Here is the setup:

Tru64 Unix 5.1B-4, opensshd compiled from source:
# sshd -V
sshd: illegal option -- V
OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003
usage: sshd [-46Ddeiqt] [-b bits] [-f config_file] [-g
login_grace_time]
[-h host_key_file] [-k key_gen_time] [-o option] [-p port]
[-u len]

Envocation is via: /usr/local/sbin/sshd -4 -f /usr/local/etc/
sshd_config

Using -4 to force IPv4 and deny IPv6 hoping this would prevent the
above message. It did not.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Robert
