Occasionally when OSX Lion does a soft reboot of all my applications, or TileMill freezes and I have to restart, the next time I open the application I get a continual "Port already in use" message interspersed with the "contact support" message. The only way to stop it is to force quit.

I can still use TileMill in the browser through localhost, but the only way to get the stand-alone application working again is to reboot or kill node in terminal.
