Me too.  Unfortunately, it's not entirely avoidable for our regress tests
since some rely on being able to establish listeners on various ports.  If
you have something else on the box that's busying out ephemeral ports
(especially the 3000-4250 range) then there's a chance the two will collide.

Sometimes these are obvious, but the source of yours isn't in the first
lot of output you were able to capture.

(Yeah, they could check the ports first, but that's a) system dependant
and b) racy anyway.)

For what it's worth, I was unable to reproduce any errors on Solaris 8
either, although with slightly different configure options.

Thanks for those.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
