Is it really complaining about an interface:port combination?  The 
relevant log entry, right at the bottom just before the shutdown, appears 
to be:

 	ROUT: Wed May 24 18:38:09 2006 [notice] [127.0.0.1, port=34386]
 	tried to bind 'jabber.betelgeuse.us', but it's already bound

At a guess, you have the '<id>' tag (<c2s><id>) in c2s.xml set to 
'jabber.betelgeuse.us'.  Since the Jabber Router does not allow multiple 
components to connect with the same domain, you'll need to change this 
back to the supplied example of 'c2s'.

For actually allowing connections from clients purporting to be 
@jabber.betelgeuse.us, the other '<id>' tag within c2s.xml 
(<c2s><local><id>) needs to be set to this domain.

For future reference, please supply in your short summary which particular 
interface:port you think is the issue.  Most people don't like playing 
'Wheres Waldo' through logfiles ;)
