Spec for ServerSocket(Proxy) specifies IllegalArgumentException to be thrown if
the argument is null. RI throws NPE instead.

Here is the testcase:
--------------------- Test29.java -----------------------
import java.net.ServerSocket;

public class Test29 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            new ServerSocket(null);
        } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
            System.err.println("WRONG: " + npe);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
            System.err.println("CORRECT: " + iae);
        }
    }
}
--------------------- Test29.java -----------------------

Output:

$ java Test29
WRONG: java.lang.NullPointerException
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta-b18)
