URL constructor URL(URL context, String spec) is getting failed with the following input on Solaris 8 with merlin build 42. Its working fine with Jdk1.3

URL context = new URL("http://a/b/c/d;p?q")
String spec = "../../../g"

How to reproduce this bug:

Run the following script to reproduce this script with merlin build 42.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class TestParseURL {

public static void main(String[] arg) {

try {

String urlString = "http://a/b/c/d;p?q";
String urlspec = "../../../g";


System.out.println("url string" + urlString);
System.out.println("url spec " + urlspec);

URL context = new URL(urlString);

System.out.println("context " + context);
URL url = new URL(context , urlspec);

System.out.println("url string " + url.toString());
} catch(Exception exp) {

System.out.println(exp.getMessage());
}
  }
 
 } // End of class
