java.net.InetAddress

Erik,
I've had a chance to look into this at long last.

On my WinXP machine, both the JDK 1.4.1_01 and a recent unpublished
GCJ 3.4 build produce identical results:
local ip: 192.168.10.14
localhost: p733
getByName:192.168.10.14
address count: 1
ip:192.168.10.14
On my Linux box, the JDK 1.4.1-rc-b19 produces this:
local ip: 127.0.0.1
localhost: p450.veganteam.com
getByName:127.0.0.1
address count: 1
ip:127.0.0.1
So in both cases, it appears that GCJ is consistent with the JDK.
I don't have Linux or MingW 3.3 builds handy, but I expect
the results to be similar.
