------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 With the proposal 171 implementation, we also added a bug inside
 retry_listener_ports(): When we call tor_addr_to_sockaddr(), the second
 argument is a uint16_t, but we stick an int into it. When this int has the
 value of CFG_AUTO_PORT, it gets truncated to 94 - and port 94 can
 typically not be opened without root.
