Try this patch out (on 4.3) to see if it fixes your issue:

I just tried this with version 4.3 with mixed results. If I use e.g.
48000 at localhost in the SP_connect call, the connection succeeds.
However, if I try to use a local socket by providing only the port
number connection does not work. Attached is a test program which
demonstrates this problem.

The connection problems in the case of socket communication are actually
caused by the daemon itself. Looking at the output at start I can see:

Conf_load_conf_file: My name: localhost, id: 127.0.0.1, port: -17536
Membership id is ( 2130706433, 1375968222)
--------------------
Configuration at localhost is:
Num Segments 1
	1	127.0.0.255       -17536
		localhost           	127.0.0.1
====================

Notice the negative port numbers. There is an integer overflow in the
daemon and this does not only exist in the printing. Actually the socket
file in /tmp is really called -17536. The client API doesn't seem to
have this overflow and tries to correctly find a file with name 48000.

Strangely, the TCP listen port is constructed without this overflow and
the daemon correctly listens on 48000:

languitar at miles:~$ lsof -i tcp:48000
COMMAND   PID      USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
spread  72864 languitar    6u  IPv4 0x665a353ce83db745      0t0  TCP
*:nimcontroller (LISTEN)

Kind regards,
Johannes
