How to reproduce this bug:

Get the networking test suite from :
/net/sqesvr/export/vsn/NET/merlin_jdk_net_promoted/tests

Take x86 machine for server
Take solaris 8 machine for client
On both server and client machines set the JAVA_HOME to jdk1.4 build 42
STABLE_JAVA_HOME to jdk1.3.

execute the server and client scripts as..
run_server quick
run_client quick 1 servername

Other information:
  
  Same tests are passed with jdk1.3 . and also passed on Solaris as server and Win 98 as client with jdk1.4 build42 .
