ktrace/kdump shows this pattern:

...
 40217 usher    STRU  struct sockaddr { AF_INET, 127.0.1.1:15024 }
 40217 usher    RET   bind -1 errno 49 Can't assign requested address
...
 40217 usher    STRU  struct sockaddr { AF_INET, 127.0.1.1:15025 }
 40217 usher    RET   bind -1 errno 49 Can't assign requested address
...
 40217 usher    STRU  struct sockaddr { AF_INET, 127.0.1.1:15026 }
 40217 usher    RET   bind -1 errno 49 Can't assign requested address
...

From what I see in the README I guess those addresses are used to talk
with the spawned local mtn instances...
I guess it could be teached to use --stdio instead?
Or simply understand why 127.0.1.1 should fail...

While I search more on the issue, this workaround does it for me:
