With JDK 1.1.6, on Solaris, if you interrupt a thread which is blocked
on network IO (specifically, read), the read gets terminated with
InterruptedIOException. On Windows NT, no such exception is thrown
and the thread is left blocked in the read call.

Attached is a test program to demo the bug. On Solaris, the output is:
pause...
Waiting to accept connections: ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=1234]
awake...
Creating connection to server
Created connection: Socket[addr=localhost/127.0.0.1,port=1234,localport=37294]

Interrupting other thread which should be stopped in read

On Windows, the PASS line does not get generated:
pause...
Waiting to accept connections: ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=1234]
awake...
