Oh, after carefully looking at the manpage, it cites "--ssl-port number" 
without a space, and "--port=number", with a space.

Holy inconsistency, Batman!

I've tried both, still no joy.

With "-p 783 --ssl --ssl-port 784" I still only get a 784 listener.

(And with --ssl-port=784, which isn't mentioned, but which I tried 
anyway)
