Hee hee! I'm going to commit --print-port today, I'm not touching the bind code. I think "--port 0 --print-port" is sufficient for most testing needs, certainly for mine. If you think port ranges are a worthwhile feature, mail me the text for a new JIRA and I'll create it on your behalf. Cheers, Alan.
