I don't. :-) I decided to investigate why the test was failing,
discovered that's the reason. 'bzr serve -h' says it dynamically
allocates a port, and it doesn't (at least on Mac OS X). Hence the
bug. I've got no practical purpose for such a feature. :-) I filed
two bugs so we can track the issues separately (should the test be
fixed independent of supporting 0 as a port number, etc).
HTH!
