NPE in Socket()#connect(SocketAddress) for giberish socket-address?

Fri Feb 17 14:38:00 GMT 2006

Hi there,
I have stumbled across a possible fixed bug in my "ancient" libgcj.
I have the following small piece of code:
--- 8< 8< 8< ---
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.net.Socket;
public class SocketConnectNullPointer
{
 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
 {
 String host = "giberish";
 int port = 110;
 Socket s = new Socket();
 System.out.println( "Connecting 1..." );
 InetSocketAddress isa = new InetSocketAddress(host, port);
 System.out.println( "Connecting 2..." );
 isa.getAddress();
 System.out.println( "Connecting 3..." );
 isa.getPort();
 System.out.println( "Connecting 4..." );
 s.connect(isa, 10000);
 System.out.println( "Done!" );
 } // main
} // SocketCon...
--- 8< 8< 8< ---
And if run with a non-giberish host-name (something that resolves), it 
works. However, when running with something that does not resolve I get 
a null pointer exception:
# /tmp/scnp
Connecting 1...
Connecting 2...
Connecting 3...
Connecting 4...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
--- 8< 8< 8< ---
My "natPlainSocketImplPosix.cc" is from CVS 2005年11月04日 (updated due to a 
bug fixed wrt. Socket#close() 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2005-11/msg00098.html).
Ok... Now, before sending this question, I just checked the 
bug-database, and it seems like Tromey beat me to it:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21941
So I reckon this has not been fixed yet?
