Socket Error 106: 'Transport endpoint is already connected'

[palmem]

I am trying to write a simple FTP server in order to learn about
sockets
This is my first time trying sockets

This code should take a connection on port 8110, dump it to a client
"thread" (not a thread yet), print "Test\n" to the thread, and close
everything.
It fails on creating the client thread with error 106: 'Transport
endpoint is already connected'

On running the code:
dftp starting
getting the socket at 127.0.0.1 at port 8110
listening for 5 connections
entering main loop
####pause here until telnet####
found a client @ <socket._socketobject object at 0x2ba16f6cd650addr:
('127.0.0.1', 58643)
Creating a new client socket
Trying to connect
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./dftpd.py", line 46, in ?
main()
File "./dftpd.py", line 41, in main
clientThread = Connection(clientsocket, address);
File "/home/palmer/prog/dftp/dftpd/connection.py", line 29, in
__init__
self.sock.connect(a);
File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (106, 'Transport endpoint is already connected')

Telnet output:
$ telnet localhost 8110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Here's my code:
config is a stand-in for a config-file reader, now it just runs
localhost:8110 and 5 connections
debug just prints to standard out (the number afterwords is the level,
but now everything is printed)
