I tried it on JDK 1.1.7v3.  First, I did not get any exception that
you got.  Second, the program does not even go as far as the
ss.close() statement: it blocks at ss.accept() (which is correct
behaviour).  If I then have a client connect to the port this program
is listening to, then the program continues and runs to completion
without exception.

In other words, I cannot reproduce your result.

Complete program I used:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class SS
{
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    ServerSocket ss = null;
    try
      {
        ss = new ServerSocket(3856);
      }
    catch (Exception e)
      {
        System.out.println("0");
      }

    try
      {
        ss.accept();
      }
    catch(Exception e) /* 1 */
      {
        System.out.println("1");
      }

    try
      {
        ss.close();
      }
    catch(Exception e) /* 2 */
      {
        System.out.println("2");
      }
  }
}
