REGRESSION: Regression in Socket.connect's use of timeouts

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_01-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
XP Pro - Service Pack 2
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Calling the connect(SockAddress dest, int timeout) method of Socket does not timeout correctly on Windows in 1.5.0.

For instance, passing a timeout of 3 seconds to the connect call results in an actual timeout of over 10 seconds (times vary - usually around 16 seconds).

This behaved correctly under 1.4.x. Passing a 3 second timeout would return in 3 seconds.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Compile sample program.
2. Run, passing arguments for IP address and timeout to use in Socket.connect() call. To observe timeout misbehavior, pass an IP address on your local network for a machine that does not exist. First arg is IP address, second is timeout in milliseconds.

Example: java socktest 192.168.0.50 3000


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Expect output of:
connect timed out: 3000
(or just slightly over 3000)

Where 3000 is the timeout you pass in (3000 milliseconds in this case)
ACTUAL -
Output under 1.5 is a time much larger than the passed in time:
connect timed out: 16534


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.net.*;

public class socktest {
    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
        Socket s = new Socket();
        long begin = System.currentTimeMillis();
        try {
            s.connect(new InetSocketAddress(args[0], 80), Integer.parseInt(args[1]));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage()+
                                                 ": "+
                                                 (System.currentTimeMillis()-begin));
        }
    }
}
