Now, after discovering the list archive, I managed to find some information
that I think relates to my problem. Here is the script that calls
tcpserver, and it looks (from the error I posted earlier) like the problem
is with the -x argument. I don't know why this is the case, but it seems to
not be able to get the port number.
