'Broken pipe' error is corrupted under the Japanese locale

Name: dk106046 Date: 10/08/2003

Some IO errors such as 'Broken pipe' are not displayed correctly when running JDK 1.3.1 under the Japanese locale. It appears to be a character conversion issue.

The corruption does not occur on JDK 1.4.x.

Compile and run the following testcase on a Japanese machine to reproduce the problem:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class BrokenWrite {
    static final int PORT = 2019;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(PORT);
        Socket client = new Socket(InetAddress.getLocalHost(),
                                   ss.getLocalPort());
        Socket server = ss.accept();
        ss.close();
        new Thread(new Closer(server)).start();
        client.getOutputStream().write(new byte[1000000]);
    }
    private static class Closer implements Runnable {
        private final Socket s;
        Closer(Socket s) { this.s = s; }
        public void run() {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(5000);
                s.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

This bug looks similar in nature to 4818483 and 4818488, and should probably be corrected in a similar way.
