The java.net.ServerSocket allways refuses connections on Solaris 2.6
if backlog is set to Integer.MAX_VALUE

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

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

class test
{

  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    ServerSocket soc = null;
    Socket csoc = null;
    int port = 0;
 
    try {
      soc = new ServerSocket(port, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
      port = soc.getLocalPort();
    } catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println("Failed. Unexpected exception:" + e);
      System.exit(-1);
    }
    
    try {
     csoc = new Socket(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), port);
    } catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println("Failed. Unexpected exception:" + e);
      System.exit(-1);
    }

    try {
     soc.close();
     csoc.close();
    } catch(Exception e) {}
    System.out.println("Passed. OKAY");

  }
}


------------------- Output from the test on Solaris 2.6 ------------------
Failed. Unexpected exception:java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------- Output from the test on Solaris 2.4, 2.5.x ------------
Passed. OKAY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
