 Replying to [comment:13 nickm]:
 > I'm particularly concerned about Windows here: on the windows versions
 we care about, do FS permissions work well enough to keep hostile parties
 from reading our datadir?

 That's unlikely, even if the hostile parties aren't running with the same
 privileges the user has.  But writing a listening port number to a file
 ''after we open the listener'' isn't a problem.
