Bug Description
With calibre's wireless driver set to start automatically and the "Open With" plugin installed, if the "Open With" plugin is used to launch Sigil to edit a book, and calibre is shut down with Sigil still open, any subsequent restarts of calibre with Sigil still open will result in an error
calibre, version 1.12.0
ERROR: Problem starting the wireless device: The wireless device driver did not start. It said "Failed to connect to port 9090. Try a different value.
Using SYsinternals tcpview command shows port 9090 still open with the pid thatcorresponds to what calibre WAS running under, but displays <non-existant> for the process name. (This assumes that tcpview is started after calibre is shutdown. If tcpview is started while calibre is still active, the process name will correctly display calibre.
Shutting Sigil down allows the port to close, and for calibre to restart the wireless driver.
Environment:
Windows 7, 74 bit SP1 plus all current patches
Calibre 1.12.0
Open With plugin: 1.5.7
Changing the component for this bug.
