This usually means that something is already listening on that port. Since it's such a random port number, I would guess that you already have an instance of omniifr already running.

You could check by using fuser (as root):

 # fuser -n tcp 32775

omniifr puts itself into the background by default, so you could easily start a process by mistake and not realise you've done it.

BTW. Let me know how you get on with omniifr. I'm considering releasing it as 2.0.0 soon, since I think it's basically feature complete and no bugs have been reported for ages.
