	Yeah, I can't send it now as I'm at work, and the box holding the
NAS repository is down for a little video card surgery.  I'll send it when
I get home tonight.

	Yeah... It crept in when a change was made in 1.5 to default to
'tcp/localhost:8000' if no DISPLAY or AUDIOSERVER was defined.  Since
AuStartServer() didn't handle these types of addresses properly, it then
starts a server on port 8000 + 8000, which doesn't work very well ;-)
