------- Comment #2 from greenrd at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-10-30 12:00 -------
The real problem here was that I had a typo in my /etc/hosts, so the hostname
could not be resolved. I've updated the bug summary.
GNU classpath 0.18 implements the correct behaviour:
$ jamvm TestAddr
java.net.UnknownHostException: lcoyle1
at java.net.VMInetAddress.getHostByName (Native Method)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName (InetAddress.java:667)
at java.net.InetAddress.getByName (InetAddress.java:622)
at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost (InetAddress.java:777)
at TestAddr.main (TestAddr.java:7)
