RFR: java/net/MulticastSocket/SetGetNetworkInterfaceTest.java throws java.net.SocketException: Cannot assign requested address

[Mark Sheppard]

Hi Alan,
   added an ExceptionDescribe to native code and an -Xcheck:jni to the 
cmd line options to produce the
following:

WARNING in native method: JNI call made with exception pending

and ExceptionDescribe outputs
