In between the call to the constructor and the call to accept() you
mean? (I have no other places in my program, so...)

Unfortunately, no, that does not help.

Quite a bunch of pages, referring to three standards: AF_INET, AF_UNIX
and AF_CCITT. Several errors, none mentioning ``temporarily'' (could
be anything, ranging from network down (unlikely) to protocol not
available. I should dive into the Java-code (or even C-code) deeply, I
guess).

This note might be interesting, though:

 FUTURE DIRECTION
      The default behavior in this release is still the classic HP-UX BSD
      Sockets, however it will be changed to X/Open Sockets in some future
      release.  At that time, any HP-UX BSD Sockets behavior which is
      incompatible with X/Open Sockets may be obsoleted. [...]
