Fundamental question to ask:

	what happens to a UDP packet recieved on a port for which there is
	no process listening?

Answer: packet gets thrown away.

So in effect, everyone implements UDP discard (because of the way that
UDP is specified) if they implement UDP at all.  What you should do is
pick another port number, and get it registered so that no one else
will use it.
