I'm running v0.8 on OS X 10.7.2 Lion, installed from the latest git sources using Homebrew. Upon trying to set the 'bind' property in the config, or using the '-i' arg, I get the error specified in the title. I've tried to bind to localhost, 127.0.0.1, the local IP assigned by the router on the network; all give the same error.

I've tried setting an exception in the firewall, and turning it off altogether, neither helped. At a loss as to what might be causing this.
