I was wondering about that and whether this is a bug. Suppose someone 
creates an unbound DatagramSocket and then attempts to bind it to a 
port. If the bind fails (say port already in use) then it may be 
surprising that they can't retry with a different port.  Should this be 
specified? I see there are cases such as the security exception where it 
doesn't the close the impl.
