When I reversed the two values in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range, my machine froze if I tried to start a telnet session. I looked into the implementation of function tcp_v4_get_port. When the two values are reversed, the return value is 1. However, 1 is not considered an error condition by tcp_v4_get_port consumers.
