Comment:

 So this would be fixed in master/buildbot/master.py, in the loadConfig
 method.

 The straightforward way to do this would be to look for any !WebStatus
 instances in {{{status}}}, and check that their ports do not overlap (a
 Python set might be useful for the check).

 The more flexible way to do this might be to add a {{{checkConfig}}}
 method to {{{IStatusReceiver}}}, and pass it the entire list of other
 status receivers.  Then the !WebStatus {{{checkConfig}}} method could scan
 the list for other {{{WebStatus}}} instances with the same port.

 The latter solution would be good for change sources, too - we have a lot
 of bugs where multiple !GitPoller instances are using the same repository
 directory, presenting almost exactly the same problem -- just a different
 parameter name!
