the bb_lookup_port() is a library function and I'm not sure if it's fine to die.
There are already some error messages like:
o_lport = bb_lookup_port(str_p, o_udpmode ? "udp" : "tcp");
if (!o_lport)
bb_error_msg_and_die("bad local port '%s'", str_p);
Also passing a zero port into xhost2sockaddr() will also make process die
