+ Instead of insisting and using fixed port numbers for the tests (even though
+ they can be changed with a switch), consider letting each server pick a
+ random available one at start-up, store that info in a file and let the test
+ suite use that.

+ and we would immediately detect when we write tests wrongly to use hard-coded
+ port numbers.
