Paul,

Zinc HTTP Server are stopped/started on each image save. For HTTP 1.1 that is 
OK, protocol wise. I think that RFB should do something similar to prevent 
issues like the one you are reporting (and there have been many in the past as 
well). 

Consider this: if you save but do not quit, and you later abort the image hard, 
you would expect the saved image to work, right. That can only be with a fresh 
server socket.
