Sorry for this short report, but I don't have much time to dig into it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch two instances of FlightGear, using the method descripted at http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Multiplayer#Multiple_connections_per_computer
2. So one has in=5001, out=5000, the other has in=5002, out=5000

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I used to be able to see both aircraft in both FG instances. As of today, only the first launched FlightGear gets connected, the other gives an error:

bind(:5000) failed. Errno 2 (No such file or directory)
FGMultiplayMgr - Failed to bind receive socket. Multiplayer mode  disabled. No such file or directory(errno 2)

What FlightGear version (or GIT date)?
October 23, 2011

What operating system and graphics card?
Windows 7 64-bits

I suspect this might have been introduced by the in-sim Multiplayer Settings dialog...
