[cp-patches] RFC: java.net.InetAddress.toString() returns wrong address

[Christian Thalinger]

Hi!

While checking some FAILs in tgolem i stumbled across this common fail:

FAIL: gnu.testlet.java.net.InetSocketAddress.InetSocketAddressTest:
Error : test_Constructors failed - 1 No wildcard address returned
(number 1)

I searched a bit and i think toString() returns the wrong value.  Is
this correct?

        * java/net/InetAddress.java (toString): Return 
        0.0.0.0 for null hostname.
