there should be no confusion - netstat clearly describes what each column is
and what is represents

it NEVER selects a random port - i dont know where you are getting this
crazy idea from about dynamic random port if port = 0   please read the
few lines above that option, ie

        #  Port on which to listen.
        #  Allowed values are:
        #       integer port number (1812)
        #       0 means "use /etc/services for the proper port"
        port = 0

which bit of "0 means "use /etc/services for the proper port"" is not clear?

if you've put some crazy value into /etc/services then that'd be your problem
