That's the reason to throw NPE.

minor: could you please cleanup unused imports after this change?

test/jdk/com/sun/jndi/ldap/SocketCloseTest.java line 144:

I believe these are local objects which are no longer used after removal of this. I'd personally remove the `private static class LdapInputStream extends InputStream {` and `private static class LdapOutputStream extends OutputStream {` further down the file
