Summary: fails to connect to debugger

Initial Comment:
I'm running the curent stable release
(drjava-stable-20020814.jar), on Redhat Linux 7.3.  I'm
using Java 1.4 SDK (java version "1.4.0_01", Java(TM) 2
Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.4.0_01-b03), Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build
1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)).  I could not get the
properties info out of the About panel, as it's now a
table, and X doesn't want to grab the contents into its
buffer--tips for this?

In any case, my problem was that when I started the
debugger (click Debug-Mode in the debugging panel), I
would get an exception:

Could not start the debugger.
edu.rice.cs.drjava.model.debug.DebugException: Could
not connect to VM: java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused.

However, this seems to have magically fixed itself
while I've been typing up this report!  That is, in
trying to do this repeatedly, it has started working,
and I haven't been able to recreate the original
failure.  Therefore, this report can serve to be just
informational until it happens again, and I can report
more information.
