No, I don't have a firewall on and the port is clearly created (I can trace its creation/deletion through one of the network-admin tools included with Gnome). However, I think I finally figured it out, it seems that Ubuntu loads /etc/hosts with various ipv6 things before stating localhost stuff and with which I am not too familiar with. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but for some reason the port 5400 is created on the IP 0.0.0.0 as opposed to 127.0.0.1 (although this may be simply the way how it is being reported in the network-admin tool I used). Once I deleted those entries in the /etc/hosts, leaving only the localhost one, the app started without a hitch. Go figure...
If anyone understands what has caused this, perhaps this may suggest that there is a bug in Pd regarding how it extracts localhost address (although it is obvious that I don't know what I am talking about here :-).

do you have a firewall blocking port 5400?
