The problem with udp traffic on port 65535 is that kernel 2.2.18
does not allow it. It's a kernel bug, and i haven't found anything
to solve this problem. Is it possible to make gnunetd to use the
ports 1024-65354 only? (for other 2.2.18 users and me :-)

It seems, that gnunetd forces the use of free ports from higher
to lower ports. With a random search for free ports the problem
with port 65535 wouldn't happen so often, i think.

The problem is still the same with gnunet-0.4.5. And - as others
wrote - there is no connect with 0.4.5 to other hosts.
