If you want to send UDP packets to the Broadcast address (not Multicast, but Broadcast packets), the FreeBSD JDK refused with a permissions error. This has now been corrected, but instead of rolling an entire release over again, I've decided to provide a simple patch, since the fix involved a single shared library. If you are experiencing the problem or you just want to be running the 'bets' bits, feel free to download the patch from the WWW page.
