The static variable will cause bindresvport to unsafe.

Use thread A and thread B to explain:

thread A: when port is 1023, execute "if (port > endport)"
thread B: execute "sin->sin_port = htons (port++);", port is 1024
thread A: execute "res = __bind (sd, sin, sizeof (struct sockaddr_in));"

So, static should be replaced with static __thread.
