Correction to InetAddress bug?

Mon Jul 26 08:02:00 GMT 1999

I collected some data:
ServerSocket
 
getHostAddress gcj -> java.Lang.NullPointerException
 java -> 0.0.0.0
getHostName gcj -> java.Lang.NullPointerException
 java -> 0.0.0.0
Socket
getHostAddress gcj -> 127.0.0.1
 java -> 127.0.0.1
getHostName gcj -> localhost
 java -> localhost
I guess that means that all is well with Socket but not in the
ServerSocket.
