I can confirm that there's something wierd going on with local-server and
remote-server connects both running on different ports. By me it seems that
using a old fbclient.dll doesn't have the problem, but a recently build
fbclient.dll (or RC-7) has the problem.

Maybe someone can tell more about this?
