On Solaris x86 java.net.SocketException is always thrown when attempt is made
to join any multicast group with java.net.MulticastSocket.joinGroup(InetAddress)
method.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-------------------------------- Test.java -----------------------------
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;


public class test
{
  
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    MulticastSocket soc = null;
    InetAddress sin = null;

    try {
      soc = new MulticastSocket();
      sin = InetAddress.getByName("224.80.80.80");
    } catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println("Failed. Unexpected Exception : " + e);
      System.exit(-1);
    }
    
    try {
      soc.joinGroup(sin);
    } catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println("Failed. Unexpected exception.. " + e);
      System.exit(0);
    }
    
    System.out.println("Passed. OKAY");
    
  }

}
 

---------------------- Output from the test -----------------
Failed. Unexpected exception.. java.net.SocketException: not in multicast
