Good idea. I added a check for "-strictportbind." Without this, the engine will print a warning, otherwise it will print an error and quit.

By allowing the server to starts on port Y you could well be disrupting another server or service on the machine perpetuating the problem. The correct behaviour, if a port has been explicitly requested, should be to log the error and quit, that way the admin will know exactly what the problem is and it wont affect other servers or services.
