Sounds like you have another application that inadvertently bound to that port.
Its not a privlidged port, nor is it well known, so it seems plausible that
another application would eventually bind to it.  Thats not a bug, just the way
ip works.

run netstat -anp | grep 51001

And see what application is holding the port.
