Should this do what I think it should? When I created a ServerSocket
using
s = new ServerSocket(1234, 0, InetAddress.getLocalHost());
I wound up with netstat reporting that I had a TCP connection listening
on 192.168.0.1.1234. From the description of the call, I'd expect
to see it listening on 127.0.0.1.1234.
Using
s = new ServerSocket(1234, 0, InetAddress.getByName("localhost"));
demonstrates the behaviour I'd expect from the first call.
