// On linux if a process is listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 then Listen()
// on ":9000" fails with the error "port already in use".
// However on Mac OSX Listen() on ":9000" falls back to the IPv6 address.
// This causes confusion on Mac OSX that minio server is not reachable
// on 127.0.0.1 even though minio server is running. So before we start
// the minio server we make sure that the port is free on each tcp network.
