It appears as if you have two instances of stunnel running in that computer.
Can you look for how many places stunnel is installed, and how many
different times it is being loaded?

Run services.msc and make sure Stunnel is listed as a service.  If it is
listed, then double click on the name to open the properties window, which
will also tell you where the executable is located.

If there is only one copy of stunnel on the system, and if it is listed in
as a Windows service, then make sure you do not also try to run stunnel.exe
from your application; you do not want them to interfere with each other.
