Editor does not launch. Instead, popup "Sorry not connected to TextareaServer"

Chromium 12.0.742.124 (0)
Arch Linux
$ node -v
v0.4.11

I installed and started textareaserver.

$ textareaserver --editor-cmd gvim
info - socket.io started
TextareaServer is running at 127.0.0.1:32942
debug - served static /socket.io.js

I restarted Chromium after installing the plugin.' When I right click in a text box and select "Edit in external editor" I get a popup error "Sorry not connected to TextareaServer". The extension settings are "host: localhost" and "port: 32942"

Did I not configure something properly? Is the extension broken? Thanks for any help.
