I've had problems with some tests hanging on FreeBSD 6/amd64. This happens
both with diablo-1.5.0_07-b01 and the java/jdk15 compiled from ports.

After much digging we've determined that the root cause is that
the guarantee in the socket.close() API, see the documentation at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#close()
isn't fulfulled - the thread blocked in I/O on the socket doesn't wake up.

Here's a pretty small test program that demonstrates the problem (given
that you're running sshd on port 22, if not change the port number to
something that the program can connect to).  Is this a known problem?
Does it happen for everybody on FreeBSD 6?
