What port range do I need to open for Swank

[Mirko Vukovic]

This is on a local host.

I see slime opening ports above 40,000.  I've been digging and tracing the
code to figure out where the exact number is coming from, where I found a
call to LOCAL-PORT and SOCKET-QUEST in SETUP-SERVER.  I'll dig some more
tomorrow.
