Eclipse cannot find a free socket for the debugger

[Jan Schultze]

Hello everyone,

Everytime I try to run the debugger in Eclipse (2.1.1_2), I get the 
following error message:

	Exception occured during launching
	Reason:
	Cannot find a free socket for the debugger

I'm running FreeBSD 5.1 Release with a native jdk1.4.2-p5. I'm not sure 
if the problems is related to the jdk or eclipse port or some stupid 
mistake of mine. Has anyone had the same problem or maybe solved it?

FYI workspace/.metadata/.log contains this stack trace:
