This is a consequence of the patch that fixes bug 222630. What was port
6880 is now a dynamic port chosen in that range, see README.multiuser in
the installed docs for further informations.

The range shouldn't be used for your main (and static) listen ports, as
per IANA specification (http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers):
"The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535".
If you use one of those ports, it might happen that one day you find it
not free because the OS decided to assign it to another service. Linux
actually has a bigger range (from 32768), but let's follow standards.

I'll leave this bug open for awhile to see if someone has other
objections, but it's, in fact, a feature.
