Compared to which field is it off by 1?
The VMX code creates its own event channel using  channel.eventChannel(), which 
will
allocate new ports. Possibly it should be reusing the existing control channel 
port
instead? This might account for the off-by-one as ports are allocated 
sequentially.

Hope this helps,
