Subject:   bug in MulticastSocket.setInterface()
Message-ID:  <199801301934.LAA15454@bubba.whistle.com>

When I run the program below, I get this exception:

  $ java test.McastTest
  address is foo.bar.com/192.168.1.10
  creating socket
  setting iface
  java.net.SocketException: invalid DatagramSocket option
	  at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.setOption(PlainDatagramSocketImpl.java:155)
	  at java.net.MulticastSocket.setInterface(MulticastSocket.java:179)
	  at test.McastTest.main(McastTest.java:22)

There seems to be some bug in the setInterface() method. Has any one
else seen this, or better yet fixed it?

This is using ftp://hub.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/java/jdk1.1.5.tar.gz
(downloaded last night) on 2.2.5.

Thanks,
-Archie
