I took a quick look at java/rmi/Naming.java and saw an obvious problem. 
It is trying to parse the rmi: URI by sticking "http:" in front of it 
and parsing it as a url:
	URL u = new URL("http:" + name);
So basically, this code doesn't work. The solution is to implement the 
new java.net.URI class (currently its just a stub), and use that to 
parse the rmi: address.
