The patch breaks setting/getting socket options on sockets created with 
Socket() or Socket(SocketImpl impl) constructors. The get/set[some 
option] rely on created socket implementations. But with your patch 
they are only created when the socket is locally bound. I know some 
apps that set/get socket options before they do this. And it is valid. 
JDK allows it too.
