Question about native 1.4.1, InetAddress.getLocalHost() - bug?

[Jan Grant]

Should this do what I think it should? When I created a ServerSocket
using

	s = new ServerSocket(1234, 0, InetAddress.getLocalHost());

I wound up with netstat reporting that I had a TCP connection listening
on 192.168.0.1.1234. From the description of the call, I'd expect
to see it listening on 127.0.0.1.1234.

Using
	s = new ServerSocket(1234, 0, InetAddress.getByName("localhost"));
demonstrates the behaviour I'd expect from the first call.
