read-io is not intended to be used with UDP. It is a low-level function that was
added to REBOL only for use by REBOL's internal protocol implementations (HTTP
etc.). It bypasses a lot of useful code, including, in the case of UDP, the code
that retrieves the peer's IP address and port number and places them into the
port object.
