Usually the socket in use command comes when either the ircrefresh command is in the process of being executed, or the topic refresh is being executed. Try giving it 15 seconds of an idle chatroom and then type /ircrefresh -- if it still gives you an error message, then I would have to guess that something from the webhost is keeping the socket open. I feel bad that this worked for me but isn't working for anyone else.
