This was necessary!
BTW: after closing the port and leaving an Inspector onto the TCPSocket
(closed by the localhost) while leaving Squeak, there is a nice seg fault
during restarting the image... But this is an ST/Flow problem.

Thanks for the explanation. I've tried again with 'nowait' and it works now!
It is even possible to create multiple instances by
  TCPStream clientToPort: 7 atHostNamed: 'localhost'
.
Don't know the reason, possibly it was *only* restarting inetd and not
Squeak... (long time ago ;-) ).
