The configuration parameters indicating what port a server should bind to have now an extended syntax. If a single port number is specified, only that precise value will be used. If the port is already bound by another process, partition startup will fail. If a port range of the form "NNNN-MMMM" is specified, the ORB will iterate over the range until an available port is found. Note that the default behaviour for a single port number specification has changed, since we used to always iterate until an available port was found. The new syntax allows explicit control over this behaviour. This provides a means of ensuring that a server does not unexpectedly bind to a different port than the one specified in runtime configuration parameters.
