Request for approval for CR 7079012 - test/java/net/NetworkInterface/NetParamsTest.java fails with SocketException getting mac address

[Chris Hegarty]

Hi,

CR 7079012 - test/java/net/NetworkInterface/NetParamsTest.java fails 
with SocketException getting mac address
   http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7079012

Identical *source* changes to JDK8
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/61a8c602cace

The changeset for JDK8 contains changes to 2 files. The source file, 
NetworkInterface.c, contains the actual changes to resolve the problem. 
The changes to ProblemList.txt simply removed NetParamsTest.java from 
the problem list, so it would be run during testing (and resolved some 
formatting issues). The changes to ProblemList.txt are not applicable to 
7u4 since the test is not on the problem list.

So, the proposed changes are to NetworkInterface.c, and are identical to 
JDK8. This makes both JDK8 and JDK7u4 identical with respect to this CR.

Thanks,
-Chris.
