I am not familiar with IPv6 too, but looking from current jdk sources
perspective it should not work at all, because initialization of
IPv6 interfaces on FreeBSD is not yet implemented.

Yes.  I have patches that solving problems reported at -java, but
not yet digged into IPv6 issues.

This issue already apeared few times on list and privately, but no
resolution with intermediate snapshosts releases yet reached.  I'll
dig this issue again.

I propose to get next patchset released this or next week.  Actually I'd
like to try to do it before this Friday since I sure that weekend won't
be productive for me (because of my 25th birthday) :-)  So, please wait
until it (I also would like to try to pass all/most java.net JCK tests
before it)
