This seemed familiar to me so I looked through the PRs that I filed and
found: bin/94920. In my case the problem was rpc.statd stealing port 63
before cups could start. This was annoying both to nfs clients who
didn't realize that statd was forceably moved and to anyone who wanted
to print. I'm sure that this can't get into 6.2 RELEASE but I wonder if
there needs to be some way to tell rpc services to avoid certain tcp
ports during initialization.
