Hi Mark,

The point was clarified on a separate conversation on net-dev.
The method in question refers to the channel's server socket adapter
(ie an instance of java.net.ServerSocket) rather than the channel itself.

What I overlooked was that the exception is being caught correctly
and converted to the right exception expected by ServerSocket.
