The java.net.URL.equals(URL) returns true when the URL without an anchor is
compared with the same URL with the anchor added.

For example equals returns true on following two urls:
http://web2.javasoft.com/index.html
http://web2.javasoft.com/index.html#SomeAnchor

Source code inspection shows, that anchors are not compared, when the current
object has no anchor specified.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

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

class test
{

  public static void main(String args[])
  {
  URL url = null;
  URL url1 = null;
  
  try {
    url = new URL("http://web2.javasoft.com/index.html");
    url1 = new URL("http://web2.javasoft.com/index.html#SomeAnchor");
  } catch(Exception e)
  {
    System.out.println("Unexpected exception :" + e);
    System.exit(-1);
  }

  if(url1.equals(url))
  {
    System.out.println("Failed. ");
    System.exit(-1);
  }

  if(!url.equals(url1))
  {
    System.out.println("OKAY");
    System.exit(0);
  }
  else
  {
    System.out.println("Failed. ");
    System.exit(-1);
  }
}

}

---------------------- Output from the test --------------------
Failed.
