     private Socket s;

         try {

         } catch (IOException e) {

UF.SOCK is reported for the snippet on line 36: if an IOExcpetion is thrown on line 20, then 'socket' will be closed on line 23. However, the method 'message' called on line 36 will attempt to write into the socket whether it was closed or not.
