A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
We've built an environment with 1.7.0_09 (32bit) JVM on RHEL6.2 (64bit) and ran a test program that execute's java.net.ServerSocket.accept() method with infinite timeout.
At the same time, we've accelerated the cpu's uptime.
As a result, we always get java.net.SocketTimeoutException in 49.7 days
(2^32 milli-seconds) as we expected. Any idea on what the cause is ?


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No SocketTimeoutException occurs and keeps on waiting for connection.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------

ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(5555);
serverSocket.accept();

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Not found. Need to restart the program to avoid SocketTimeoutException.
