not only because the ports are < 1024, but because they're the same!

true.  but, trying to have the collector and negotiator (totally
seperate daemons) bind to the same port will never work.

in other related news...  

starting in v6.7.5, the negotiator publishes its own classad to the
collector to advertise where it's listening (among other things).  so,
for 6.7.5 and greater, you don't need to specify a fixed port for the
negotiator at all.  just comment out the "NEGOTIATOR_HOST" setting in
your config file(s) and when you startup condor, the negotiator will
bind to any available port within your LOWPORT/HIGHPORT range, and any
part of condor that needs to contact it can find the port it ended up
on via the negotiator's classad.
