Why loading ADSDBE and then connecting via DacSession():New(),
generates a network access to 224.0.1.55:2989?  What/who is that IP?
Is it a virus or a spy?

Thank you, Andreas!
Seems a clever method for the client to find a local ADS server.  My
firewall does not like it, but I configured it to let go.
BTW, I don't like the slowness it creates at my computer.
