Kris,

Thanks for taking a partial look at it, I think your comments give me
enough insight to make another attempt and ensure it will compile
against jdk1.2.

This is strange, I am unable to duplicate this on my machine (FreeBSD/jdk1.4.2/x86)
I will see if I can duplicate this on a different machine.  Out of curiosity, what
OS/jdk/cpu are you using?

Good point, I wasn't aware of that but I guess I won't be able to use the InetAddress
classes.

I will try to have another version of this patch which addresses the above issues
for you when you get back from your vacation.
