I'm running iSSH 5.5.0 on an iPad running iOS 6.0.1, and I can't make outbound connections to ports greater than 32767. If I try to telnet to an open port in the range 32768-65535, it defaults to trying to connect to port 23. Similarly, if I try to ssh to the same port, it defaults to port 22. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

I was thinking some more about this, and maybe the port is stored as a signed int so it rolls over to negative, which is caught as an error, hence using the default. Just a thought, I haven't seen the code.
