Thank you; it's nice to confirm that the problem can be reproduced.

I think [2] may lend support to your conjecture: it appears to be
starting the StopServer with STOPPORT and SERVERHOST as parameters.
But there are several stop() methods in the code and I shouldn't
pretend I understand which is actually calling which.

[2] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/blob/master/basex-api/src/main/java/org/basex/BaseXHTTP.java#L152

I notice that these pointers are to the current code, which differs a
bit from the code of 8.3 dated 23 September, but there, too, the
constructor for BaseXHTTP creates a StopServer instance passing
SERVERHOST and STOPPORT as arguments, and the static stop() method
opens a socket on LOCALHOST, not SERVERHOST.  If that matters.

I have now also tested with 8.2.3 and 8.0.1 (by changing the URI in
BASEX_VERSION in the config file -- thanks for making it so easy to
reconfigure!) and find that both of these versions also exhibit the
problem.  The wording of the error message changes a bit; in
8.0.1. it says "Connection refused", not "Connection failed", and does
not specify a port number.  But it's pretty clearly the same issue.
