Thanks. So yes, if some/all of the tests for multicasting were excluded then it 
helps explain why it didn't come up. The spec doesn't require that a 
DatgaramChannel or DatagramChannel to an IPv6 socket be capable of joining an 
IPv4 multicast group. So the tests in several areas might need as I don't think 
we've had a platform to date where it wasn't possible.
