Description

If i start my locator using gfsh like
gfsh>start locator --name=locator
gfsh>start server --name=server1 --locators=localhost[10334]

it works fine.

But if I try to start the locator and server using LocatorLauncher and ServerLauncher classes like

java -cp ${GEMFIRE_HOME}/lib/gemfire.jar com.gemstone.gemfire.distributed.LocatorLauncher \
  start locator \
  --port=10334 \
  --bind-address=10.112.204.114

java -cp ${GEMFIRE_HOME}/lib/gemfire.jar com.gemstone.gemfire.distributed.ServerLauncher \
  start server \
  -Dgemfire.locators=10.112.204.114[10334] \
  -dir=server1 -properties-file=gemfire.properties

I am getting the below errors

java.io.EOFException: Locator at localhost(server:36010)<v1>:10334 did not respond. This is normal if the locator was shutdown. If it wasn't check its log for exceptions.

The issue is also faced by customer who were using com.gemstone.gemfire.internal.SystemAdmin class to start locator and servers.

If they use gfsh scripts to run the locator and programatically start serves it works fine.
