[RFR] 8219640: UnresolvedAddressException not thrown for incorrect hostname

[Rob McKenna]

Thanks for the pointer to the passing host Alan. With that I was able to

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=108bc4049f8ae82710aec26a92ffdb4b439c83fd

So it looks like this has recently been fixed in glibc.
