AntlrWorks 1.2b5 won't connect for me anymore on *any* port. It thinks 49153
is in use, but trying 49100 used to work. Now it just times out. Every time.
After a reboot. It doesn't matter. Even for a test grammar like:

	grammar test;
	start : 'hello';

If debugging from within AntlrWorks, does the port chosen need to match what
was compiled into Antrl, or can could AntlrWorks just search for an unused
port each time the Debug button was clicked?
