It's not that odd really.  What address range is reported?  I'm going to
guess it's only listening on the local loopback.  Also, try telnetting
to the address:port.  Does it hang and time out?  Do you get connection
refused?  It would seem WDM sets up a TCP port to communicate between a
parent and child (more than one WDM process running?) and therefore
doesn't really care what port is used (lets the OS decide).
