RFR: 7180557 - InetAddress.getLocalHost throws UnknownHostException on java7u5 on OSX

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Rob,

Instead of iterating interfaces list twice you can maintain two indices,
as you already know exact number of addresses.

put_v4_at(i)
put_v6_at(j+v4count)

Also you can take a look at

solaris/native/java/net/NetworkInterface.c

and possibly re-use some logic from there.
