The unable to open the port message is a bug in OS X, that I can't do 
anything about. If Summary doesn't exit cleanly, ie if you use force 
quit, then you will run into that problem. The only practical workaround 
is to reboot.

The initial failure in Summary is probably a bug, which I can hopefully 
do something about. Do you know anything more about it, when it happens, 
anything? I haven't seen that here. If I can get it to happen here I can 
probably fix it.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
