Japanese SunOS: java.net.ConnectException has garbled message

"uname -a" output:
SunOS jpsun2084 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

This is a Japanese Solaris machine. Using the following test code:

package mypackage1;
import java.net.Socket;
public class Class1 {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
     // Throws exception with garbled message.
     new Socket( "jpsun2084.jp.oracle.com", 23791 );
  }
}

This code correctly throws a ConnectException, but the message attached to the ConnectException is garbled in Japanese:

Exception in thread "main" java.net.ConnectException: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:355)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:142)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:129)
at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:273)
at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:100)
at mypackage1.Class1.main(Class1.java:6)

This kind of Socket code is used in an application server client which then displays the (unreadable) exception message to the user.
