ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 2003 SP2

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
User reports his network interfaces to be

lo (MS TCP Loopback interface)
lo[0] 127.0.0.1
ppp0 (WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface)
ppp0[0] 79.142.58.41

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a user of Azureus/Vuze who is reporting a null-pointer exception in java.net.NetworkInterface.getInterfaceAddresses when trying to enumerate the addresses on his system.

It must be something specific to windows 2003 SP2 and/or his interface setup as I can't reproduce it.

He also reports something similar on 1.6 although I have no trace from that

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
The user can reproduce it always but I can't

list of addresses

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.net.NetworkInterface.getInterfaceAddresses(Unknown Source)
