[Dnsmasq-discuss] query-port option causes DNS error code 5(REFUSED)

I would like dnsmasq to stick to a single source port for its requests, so
that I can differentiate them from other DNS requests going out the same
interface.

The query-port option works as advertised when set to 0 (i.e. picks a
single random port and sticks to it). Any other value, however - below
1024, a little above 1024, way up in the 50000s - causes dnsmasq to respond
to all queries with a "REFUSED" (DNS error code 5).

My dnsmasq.conf is empty other than query-port, and I haven't made any
other weird changes to the system that should be relevant. This is Debian's
current [2.76+whatever security patches] version of dnsmasq.

Does anyone else get this behavior?
