According to the ASIO reference:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/basic_datagram_socket/basic_datagram_socket/overload3.html

"This constructor creates a datagram socket and automatically opens it
bound to the specified endpoint on the local machine. "

In your example, the socket was created but it's not "open" yet, (so
it doesn't have a valid handle). So before you bind() it, you have to
open() it:
