Servers Disappearing from the Master Server List - Ports?

I upgraded to MultiAdmin 3.x for two reasons: server stability (less crashes) and the mysterious [MEMES] server disappearance. MultiAdmin 2.x would lose track of [MEMES] and ONLY [MEMES] and refuse to restart the instance.

Of course, upon getting this same issue in MultiAdmin, I was furious but I believe I've found it to be one of two issues:

1) For whatever reason it cannot allocate ports 7777 or 7778 so it starts incrementing the ports, which were blocked by the firewall.
2) The daemon should pause instead of using read because read occasionally locks the process.
