It seems to me there must be a corner case, which should be easy enough to fix.  If the BBSERVER is set, it should simply attach to the existing instance, assuming the instance is reachable.  There is some code that was added to validate the bitbake server instance is healthy or it will get shutdown.

Do you have a step by step set of instructions to duplicate the behavior you are inquiring about or a bugzilla case I can take a peek at?

Thanks,
Jason.
