I have a fix up that I think would lead to a more clear error: [Ensure port in listenany stays UInt16 by quinnj · Pull Request #47213 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/47213). It seems in this case that the tests are unable to listen on any ports on the host for some reason, so we end up cycling all the way to \> `typemax(UInt16)` which then throws an error in the `InetAddr` constructor. Maybe this is a docker container where the port listening is restricted or something?

After adding that above suggestion to code facing this no ports available:
