Purpose:
Use port hunting to test the Stream VFD
Description:
The stream driver is tested by streaming data
between two different processes on the local
machine on a given default port.
If this port is already is use, port hunting
should find the next available port to use.
The hostname/port information which is actually
used by the sender is written to a temporary
file which is then read by the receiver process
to connect to the sender's port.
For the purpose of testing I switched back
the default port to use from 10007 to 5678
which is at least already used by another
service on modi4.
Platforms tested:
x86 Linux, Irix 32/64 bit (modi4), Dec Alpha,
Unicos on T3E, Hitachi SR8000, AIX on SP2
