I can confirm this but I don't think this is a bigger issue as it will keep trying and did succeed.

I also see similiar outputs:
3/6/2019 -- 07:39:44 - <Warning> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_SOCKET(200)] - Error connecting to socket "/tmp/stats.sock": No such file or directory (will keep trying) 3/6/2019 -- 07:40:26 - <Notice> - Reconnected socket "/tmp/stats.sock"
Do you have any cases where the retry doesn't work?
