qualified host parameter for UnknownHostException? (was: hg: jdk8/tl/jdk: 8028074: InetAddress.getByName fails with UHE "invalid IPv6 address" if host name starts with a-f)

Hello,

BTW: it would be good if UHE had a data member of the not-found host  
value. Actually the javadoc hints in that direction:

# public UnknownHostException(String host)
#
# Parameters:
#    host - the detail message.

which is quite confusing. Maybe a new constructor like UHE(String cause,  
String host, String osError) would be really usefull?

Gruss
Bernd
