When profiling is restarted, a second tftpd server will be launched. This is
wrong. I don't know precisely what side effects this will cause, minimally
it will cause memory loss + the tftpd server thread will best case fail
gracefully.

Of course a memory loss isn't very obvious, so things can appear to
work fine.
