That's what I would expect as DatagramPacket is old and and pre-dates 
the SocketAddress abstraction.

One other thing to check is whether this API bug has ever been reported. 
If not then it suggests that not too many people have actually run into 
it. If these constructors are widely used then I would expect that the 
bug would be reported before now.
