[Idle-dev] idle 1.0.2 cannot bind (again) to port 8833 w/python 2.3.3

[Al Schapira]

Neal,
Yes, killing oafd enabled idle to start with subprocesses.
This is what was running:

 oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=12

It did not restart.  Based on the man page, its for CORBA, Orbit, OAF
and/or Bonobo.  Since I don't know what any of those are, I'm not sure I
need it.  Can you elaborate?

Does killing oafd shed any light on what the problem with idle really
is?

Thanks,
	-Al
