udp_get_next_priv_port() from http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/inet/udp/udp.c
Assuming the system is unlabeled, what port will be returned when we're called (hint: it isn't IPPORT_RESERVED-1)?
No doubt this will be trivial for the C guru, but it had me scratching my head for a little while. It's probably time that I went back and read Programming 101...

/*
 * Return the next anonymous port in the privileged port range for

        static in_port_t next_priv_port = IPPORT_RESERVED - 1;
        in_port_t nextport;
        boolean_t restart = B_FALSE;
        udp_stack_t *us = udp->udp_us;

        if (next_priv_port < us->us_min_anonpriv_port ||
            next_priv_port >= IPPORT_RESERVED) {
                next_priv_port = IPPORT_RESERVED - 1;
                if (restart)
                        return (0);
                restart = B_TRUE;
        }

            (nextport = tsol_next_port(crgetzone(udp->udp_connp->conn_cred),
            next_priv_port, IPPROTO_UDP, B_FALSE)) != 0) {
                next_priv_port = nextport;
