On Merlin build 58, tnameserv does not start using the default port:

% su
# cd $JAVA_HOME/bin
# ./tnameserv
caught an exception while starting the bootstrap service on port 900
try using a different port with a commandline arguments -ORBInitialPort <portno>

However, if tnameserv is launched as follows the process initiates correctly.

#./tnameserv -ORBInitialPort 900
Initial Naming Context
IOR:0000....

The correct behaviour is exhibited by the latest Ladybird
build (21).

Fix verified OK:
- using build:j2sdk-1_4_0-beta3-bin-b84-solsparc-20_oct_2001
- by running tnameserv both as normal and super user, with and without the "-ORBInitialPort" option for ports 900 and 1050
