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).
