Pre-1.4 SocketImpl no longer supported

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode, sharing)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
By trivial inspection Socket.checkOldImpl always sets oldImpl to false. For old SocketImpls, the method loop will exit when the SocketImpl class itself is inspected. The code should either stop before the SocketImpl class or check whether the derived-method is abstract or not.

So, SocketImpl classes written for JREs prior to 1.4 (JSR-51) will not work. It appears that this bug was introduced by the fix for Bug 5089488. The bug is not present in the previous update, 1.5.0_06-b05.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Try to connect an old-style socket.

Compile the example below using the rt.jar from a 1.3 JRE.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The program should exit without printing anything.
ACTUAL -
Error message as below.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: java.net.SocketImpl.connect(Ljava/net/SocketAddress;I)V
        at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:516)
        at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:466)

        at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:179)
        at OldSocketImpl.main(OldSocketImpl.java:11)


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
