What will happen if there is already a xAP Hub running on the system?

For myself I just made my apps attempt to start as a Hub and if it
detects one already then it instead becomes a Hub Client. That way I
just start my apps in any order and they all just work correctly.

I can though opt to configure any to specifically and only start as
either a Hub or as a HubClient, rather than detecting things
automatically by default.
