Hi folks,
There is a problem in sun/security/util/HostnameChecker.java matchIP
method. When comparing an ipv6 address with its abbreviated counterpart
the comparison will fail. I'm open to a more efficient way of comparing
these addresses (perhaps a utility method to abbreviate an ipv6 string)
but this seems to do the job.

(btw, though this is a security component, it does seem to have a strong
networking slant, so feel free to redirect me to net-dev)
