Prometheus just halted with the message
	Address 18.72.0.59 is already in use
	(et cetera)

Two problems here:

* This is useless for debugging.  The message should include the
  ethernet address of the host responding to 18.72.0.59, if possible.
* The message forms a complete sentence; it should be ended with a
  period.
