This means the server is not listening to the port. This could mean
the connection was attempted in the second between when FB crashed
and the guardian detected it and restarted the service. To me this is
not your scary message. The connection is not successful because the
service is not running.

What you need to figure out is why the server is terminating
abnormally. This can happen if you have a faulty UDF or due to
hardware failure or software bug. Maybe someone else can comment on
what may cause this error message.
