When the name server attempted a bind() system call, it failed with
error code EADDRINUSE: "Address already in use". The name server was
trying to associate some socket on file descriptor 20 with port 53 of
the loopback interface 127.0.0.1.

A bind() system call will fail EADDRINUSE if the address that is to be
bound to is already in use. That probably means something else has
already claimed port 53 on the loopback interface. The most likely
reason for that would be a name server that was already running and
waiting for incoming queries to port 53.
