Bug Description

Recently upgraded to v18.04 and now when running mtr v0.92, it stops after a five minutes with "address in use" error. I did not have this issue with v14.04.5 and I could run mtr continuously for days - this was mtr v0.85.

~ date; mtr --tcp --port 443 vpn5.elavon.net; date
Mon Mar 11 10:37:38 EDT 2019
mtr: Address in use
Mon Mar 11 10:42:39 EDT 2019

Increasing the interval time pushes out when the error occurs but it still occurs.

Same issue here. The command I use is:

while true; do
    mtr --tcp --port 443 --address 192.168.50.2 --report-wide google.com
done

I get "mtr: Address in use" message after 50 iterations of this loop.
