The IPv6 support was done for JDK1.2.2, and the original source file was
called jdk1_2_2-L-src-linux-09_Mar.zip. The patch was written for RedHat
6.2, and can be downloaded from http://www.tml.hut.fi/~jlu/jdkpatch.tar.gz.
I no longer use 1.2.2 so I don't know whether or not it works on anything
else than RH6.2 (or even if it compiles...)
