Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:4217 nickm]:
 > It's not totally clear to me yet whether this bug only shows up when
 you're running with accounting.  If so, not to worry: that configuration
 (low ports, start as root, '''and''' accounting) isn't something we ever
 supported, since we can't rebind ports after waking up.  But I suspect
 that the bug shows up either way, with accounting or not.  If so, that's a
 big problem and we should fix it.

 This bug bit katmagic today, with `DNSPort 53` and no accounting or relay
 options set.
