It looks like another app is using 59?? ports. Does vncserver check for taken ports both 60?? and 59??, if not a vnc bug. Yes, vncserver checks both ports:
Code:
#
# GetDisplayNumber gets the lowest available display number.  A display number
# n is taken if something is listening on the VNC server port (5900+n) or the
# X server port (6000+n).
#
sub GetDisplayNumber
{
    foreach $n (1..99) {
        if (&CheckDisplayNumber($n)) {
            return $n+0; # Bruce Mah's workaround for bug in perl 5.005_02
        }
    }
    die "$prog: no free display number on $host.\n";
}
 
#
# CheckDisplayNumber checks if the given display number is available.  A
# display number n is taken if something is listening on the VNC server port
# (5900+n) or the X server port (6000+n).
#
sub CheckDisplayNumber
{
    local ($n) = @_;
    socket(S, $AF_INET, $SOCK_STREAM, 0) || die "$prog: socket failed: $!\n";
    eval 'setsockopt(S, &SOL_SOCKET, &SO_REUSEADDR, pack("l", 1))';
    if (!bind(S, pack('S n x12', $AF_INET, 6000 + $n))) {
        close(S);
        return 0;
    }
    close(S);
    socket(S, $AF_INET, $SOCK_STREAM, 0) || die "$prog: socket failed: $!\n";
    eval 'setsockopt(S, &SOL_SOCKET, &SO_REUSEADDR, pack("l", 1))';
    if (!bind(S, pack('S n x12', $AF_INET, 5900 + $n))) {
        close(S);
        return 0;
    }
    close(S);
    if (-e "/tmp/.X$n-lock") {
        warn "\nWarning: $host:$n is taken because of /tmp/.X$n-lock\n";
        warn "Remove this file if there is no X server $host:$n\n";
        return 0;
    }
    if (-e "/tmp/.X11-unix/X$n") {
        warn "\nWarning: $host:$n is taken because of /tmp/.X11-unix/X$n\n";
        warn "Remove this file if there is no X server $host:$n\n";
        return 0;
    }
    if (-e "/usr/spool/sockets/X11/$n") {
        warn("\nWarning: $host:$n is taken because of ".
             "/usr/spool/sockets/X11/$n\n");
        warn "Remove this file if there is no X server $host:$n\n";
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}

It'd be interesting to see the lsof of those ports, who is using them for what, but you need to be root for that (to see all user info). You'd think 100 ports would be enough.

SOCKET_GETSOCKNAME(3)							 1						     SOCKET_GETSOCKNAME(3)

socket_getsockname  -  Queries	the local side of the given socket which may either result in host/port or in a Unix filesystem path, dependent on
its type

SYNOPSIS
bool socket_getsockname (resource $socket, string &$addr, [int &$port]) DESCRIPTION
Note socket_getsockname(3) should not be used with AF_UNIX sockets created with socket_connect(3). Only sockets created with socket_accept(3) or a primary server socket following a call to socket_bind(3) will return meaningful values. PARAMETERS
o $socket - A valid socket resource created with socket_create(3) or socket_accept(3). o $addr - If the given socket is of type AF_INET or AF_INET6, socket_getsockname(3) will return the local IP address in appropriate nota- tion (e.g. 127.0.0.1 or fe80::1) in the $address parameter and, if the optional $port parameter is present, also the associated port. If the given socket is of type AF_UNIX, socket_getsockname(3) will return the Unix filesystem path (e.g. /var/run/dae- mon.sock) in the $address parameter. o $port - If provided, this will hold the associated port. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. socket_getsockname(3) may also return FALSE if the socket type is not any of AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNIX, in which case the last socket error code is not updated. SEE ALSO
socket_getpeername(3), socket_last_error(3), socket_strerror(3). PHP Documentation Group SOCKET_GETSOCKNAME(3)
