My guess is that the client connects to 4050 because there's
an entry in your "services" file saying:

gds_db 4050

(or perhaps fb_db, I don't know)

You can specify a port when connecting to simulate the normal
behaviour, or change the services file back to "3050" and modify
server startup to listen on 4050.
