-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
 We use Pidgin in a terminal server environment, therefore multiple users
 run it from the same server. The problem we have is once a certain amount
 of users has logged in, everyone else recieves the "Could not bind socket
 to port" error.

 I've included a relevant debug log below, the problem appears to be with
 the limited number of ports tried before giving up.

 Would it be possible to implement something which would enable Pidgin to
 be more terminal server friendly?

 Debug log:
