Port issues in 3.6?

[SwaggerNiels]

Im having trouble as well in Blender 3.6 on Windows
The port won't close from the preferences menu within Blender.
Also sometimes the example python script:

import socket


def send_command(command):
    clientsocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    clientsocket.connect(('localhost', 5000))
    clientsocket.sendall(command.encode())
    while True:
        res = clientsocket.recv(4096)
        if not res:
            break
        print(res.decode())
    clientsocket.close()

send_command("""
j = 0
for i in range(10):
    print(j)
    j+=i*2
j
""")

Does not always time out, but just keeps waiting and crashes the terminal.
What could be happening here?

Hi
What is the crash? Could you show some callstack from crash or log from closing of the port?

Never mind it is fixed in the new version.

Just for anyone reading this in the future:
if you get
ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061]
just switch to a different port (e.g. 5000 --> 6000)
then everything is fine

Oke it is back:

After a while the port won't close anymore.
It takes a few minutes for this to happen, when it does there is no crash, just blender preformance plummets.
It just doesn't update the button to "open port", while the port is actually closed (i cannot use it external to blender to send commands).
Blender itself notably slows down.
