At least under Unix, this usually means that the 'lsv' process doesn't
have a hot listen() on port 2306.  A common cause of this is 'lsv'
crashing with the socket open (and thus failing to close() it itself)
and when restarted, not getting it open again because it doesn't use
SO_REUSADDR.

Unfortunately, the 1.8d version seems to only try to open it when
initially starting up - the only real fix is to re-start lsv again.
