It would be helpful if you could tell us which Lisp implementation and
which operating system you use...

The message "No such file or directory" looks kind of strange but I
think this can be due to the socket still being "in use:"

  <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/msg/f463a2c3e09492c4>

I usually see this with CMUCL on Linux.  In that case you don't have
to reboot, though, it suffices to wait for a minute or so.

Cheers,
