I think we have seen this before, one of them is probably violently
logging "epmd: epmd: error in accept" as well. We have only seen this
on boot-up of a machine, probably due to several Erlang VMs trying to
start up at the same time. We don't currently have a solution for this
issue (mostly because we don't know the root cause yet).

I am not sure we get two of them, it might be just one in our case.
