With this pull request, we no longer use bind("0.0.0.0", 0) from the operating system to choose an arbitrary available port. Instead, we use our own random number generator and retry 150 times. See comments for an explanation of where this constant comes from.

Merging this will be a minor version update, to v0.5.0, since I changed some of the library method signatures.
