Build Identifier:

As subject. So specifying 66666 will not give you an error, not for connecting to nor starting the server with it. And it actually 'works' so that surprises me even more.

Reproducible: Always

I guess this is the most 'elegant' solution.

I'd rather add a separate check which throws an ILLARG (illegal argument port number should be between ...)

Changeset cc16bb8cb4d8 made by Stefan de Konink stefan@konink.de in the MonetDB repo, refers to this bug.

For complete details, see http//devmonetdborg/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=cc16bb8cb4d8

Changeset description:

SERVERlisten: force maximum tcp port 65535

port isn't checked carefully, leading to unexpected success of opening
invalid ports, bug #2738.
At the same time, fix a case of throwing an IO instead of an ILLARG for
invalid arguments.
