Ostinato does not check on start that drone is running

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run Ostinato (drone starts automatically).
2. Make fail Ostinato (or kill process in task manager).
3. Run Ostinato.

Actual results:
Ostinato returns an exception and crashes.

Expected results:
Ostinato client checks that drone is available:
if drone is running - connect to it,
else - client runs drone.

Ostinato version: 0.6

OS: Windows XP

Unable to reproduce.

I see behaviour outwardly similar to "expected results" - when you start 
ostinato the second time, it starts drone (without checking that it is already 
running), but this instance of drone fails to bind to port 7878 so exits with 
an error, but Ostinato connects to the original drone already running.

The expected result is that Ostinato will check that drone is running before 
connecting to it and no errors occur.

Do you see any error now? I don't.

Given that, I don't see what practical difference it would make to check for a 
running Drone at Ostinato startup.

Please refer attached screen-shoots of Ostinato application.

Error is shown for second drone.exe and OS tries to process this exception.

To avoid excessive error messages I'm suggesting to add validation "is drone 
running" during application start.

Are you sure you are using version 0.6 and not an earlier version? You should 
not be seeing the error message on 0.6.

My bad, last Ostinato version on Win XP we have used is 0.5.1. 
I'll try to verify this issue on version 0.6.
