Hi,
I changed the implementation according to Brad's comments. I am
reposting the output of hg diff
src/share/classes/java/net/DatagramSocket.java since I don't have an
openjdk account:
bash-3.00$ hg diff src/share/classes/java/net/DatagramSocket.java
diff --git a/src/share/classes/java/net/DatagramSocket.java
b/src/share/classes/java/net/DatagramSocket.java

+++ b/src/share/classes/java/net/DatagramSocket.java

But, bind() already closes the impl internally before throwing the
exception.
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.

It doesn't seem to be specified either way, though it does seem to be
inconsistent.
I'd be wary about changing the behaviour though
unless there was a strong justification (more than a compiler warning :) )
