hmm, true ... that is much simpler to grab random ports in that range :)

is that guaranteed somewhere ?  when i first worked on the code snippet, i=
=20
looked for such info and since i couldnt locate any such "the implementatio=
n=20
must increment" requirement, i felt the more complicated recursive approach=
=20
is better since relying on Linux/glibc behavior is not appropriate ...
