toxins and toxbot don't come online when qTox is already online, using UDP on the same host #856

I am having this problem with both echobot from toxins and https://github.com/JFreegman/ToxBot: attempts to add them as friend in qTox fail because they never accept friend requests, and probably don't even come online.

No such problem with second instance of qTox though.

Do toxins and toxbot still need some changes to be compatible with toxcode-0.2.1? Otherwise, what could be a problem?

I narrowed the problem. echobot and ToxBot both use UDP by default. The problem only happens when qTox already uses UDP. In such case, echobot and ToxBot never come online.

For some reason, two qToxes don't have this problem, but echobot and ToxBot do.

Could be that ToxBot and echobot don't use a port range because they are designed as server programs. Does it work if you start ToxBot or echobot before qTox?

Doesn't toxcore use 33445-33545 port range by default? echobot uses the default settings (passes NULL for Tox_Options in tox_new()), so it should use the port range.
