Hi Chris,
Is the choice of 9999 as the ephemeral port ok?
Though it is artificial is there any chance it will be confused with a
real port?
Would a negative number (or zero) work just as well for this purpose?
Or does it get rejected in one of the layers it has to pass through.
typo: "support listing on an ephemeral port"-> "support *listening* on
an ephemeral port"

There is an inherent race, and possible failure, following the
getUnusedRandomPort pattern. This test can be modified to use a custom
socket factory, supporting listening on an ephemeral port, without
changing the behavior of the test.
