I'm afraid there's a bug in 5.02's SocketPrim library that causes this.
The fix will be in 5.02.1, due out shortly (or pull it from CVS if
you're brave :-).

There isn't a PortNumber constructor, just a type constructor - is that
what you meant?  If so, doesn't just "import Socket(PortNumber)" do the
right thing?
