IIRC the problem with non-standard ports in the nodelist / node line (e.g. 24555) was also not always and on every system reproducible. For reference:

https://github.com/pgul/binkd/issues/15

(There was more discussion somewhere else, but I cannot find it).

Interestingly I believe the commit bug also fixed another bug with the node -pipe option as a side effect. Weird things happening seems to be not unusual for binkd.
