Migration issue

[Adam Dershowitz]

Yes, xar. 
That port actually got fixed quickly, so the specific problem is gone.
But, the situation still has me curious.  Why should just moving myports.txt end up with a bunch more universal ports on the new machine?  Is it a difference between 10.11 and 10.12?
