Thanks for fixing this long outstanding issue.  :)  The latest patch looks
correct and passed some simple tests that I ran against it.  One comment below,
which I didn't catch before:

Assuming that we're likely to pick a valid port on the first try, it would be
more efficient to move the above 3 lines to the end of the while loop.
