Bug#562133: Fails to start local game

[Adam Majer]

Package: freecol
Version: 0.8.4+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Anytime I want to start freecol, I click on New Game and start (with
default options) and all I get is either,

  Failed to connect to server

or,

  There is already a server running on this port. Do you want to stop
  it.

(the wording may of above may or may not be exact). Using netstat it
seems that freecol starts a server socket listening on the port it
wants to connect. No further information seems to be available from
the game. I have not attempted connecting to external server.
