Assuming that my "compatibility argument" is not considered valid. What I really need is some good ammunition for going back to Sun to ask them to change the JRE spec -- like some significant kernel features or Linux applications that relies on this new bind() behavior.
How about first finding out why their buggy JRE detects whether an address is local by trying to bind() to it :-)
Really, when an application feeds a specific address into bind() it must have good reason for selecting it. All I want to know in this specific instance, is why Sun's JRE is sending non-local addresses into bind(), that's all.
