#10695: use %s not %d so that a string 'port' does not cause a debug traceback

bitdancer · bitdancer · commit 32ef70c82799 · 2010-12-14T14:16:20.000Z
Passing the port as a string value works fine in regular mode, but
if you turned debug on it would throw an error trying to print the
port number, which is surprising and confusing.
