My bug ;) The thread above says that a bug on
DatagramSocketTest2 was fixed, you are apparently
having problems with DatagramSocketTest (since you are
done with DatagramSocketTest2 when you start doing
DatagramSocketTest, where you caught an exception).
The test names are a little too similar for my eyes ;)

Looking at it, you get a different exception than I do
in DatagramSocketTest: in your case trying to open a
datagram socket on the local host fails, while the
exception I get happens much later :
test_echoWithTimeout failed - 5 Exception occured
while sending/receiving. It would be interesting to
get a stack trace of the last exception you see before
kaffe hangs. You need to patch the test for that.

Also, running the test suite with TESTFLAGS="-verbose"
would help you to find the spot where it all breaks
down faster, by telling you which tests succeeded.

actually, I thought I'd write that from kaffe's
perspective and put it into kaffe's FAQ directory. I
doubt it's going to be that useful for mauve since
it's based on the terse documentation mauve already
has ;)

KEYS="whatever_other_keys_you_have
\!java.lang.Character"

in your case you should use "KEYS="JDK1.1 \!java.
java.net.DatagramSocket" That's gong to only execute
the tests for DatagramSocket.
