I'm sure Rob will reply you on this. In the mean-time you can workaround 
this by running with IPv6 disabled (-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true). I 
would also encourage you to examine the code in question as it will 
likely not work on other platforms and configurations where the host 
name has a domain name.
