JDK-4701650 - MulticastSocket spec issues

Windows doesn't allow the ttl to be set on an unbound UDP socket. As
a result the following fails :-

MulticastSocket s = new MulticastSocket(null);
s.setTimeToLive(16);

EVALUATION MutlicastSocket's specification doesn't state if one can set the multicast TTL or other options on an unbound socket - see 4701650. ###@###.### 2002-06-13
