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.
