This is fixed in Zephyr 2.0, which was released today.

instop is not necessarily relevant any more; INSTALL should be a
complete set of instructions.

That should be 2103 and 2104.  Usually, when a port can't be assigned,
it's because another process is already bound to that port.  See if
you can find another zhm in your process table; if you can't, do a
netstat and look for something on *.2104 or *.zephyr-hm.  Also, if you
actually used 2014 instead of 2104, there could be a different program
using port 2014, I suppose.
