In this case, I guess the rarely used port may be suitable, though it
is not perfect and may cause failure (in very little possibility?) Or
let's make the test as a special test, as exclude test, or manual
test?

I suggest we should never use Support_PortManager any more.

Yes, I agree that we should use port 0 in almost all the test cases.
However, it seems that this test case is a little bit special. It
requires to initialize a ServerSocket to connect 0.0.0.0 after
connecting localhost successfully.  If we use port 0 and 0.0.0.0 at the
same time, the ServerSocket constructed will be invalid.

Thus, shall we assign a rarely-used port (e.g. 50000), or continue using
Support_PortManager? Any ideas? Suggestions?
