     The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023.
     The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151.
     The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535.

   So a range of 51024 to 54999 would be OK to use.
   There are hundreds or thousands of services registered
   in the current Linux range.

Hmmm, Solaris seems to use such a range too.

Ok, this needs to be fixed then. Thanks for making
us aware of the issue.
