The updates to the Sockets policy file suggests using this 
jdk.test.lib.Platform/OSVersion requires permissions that the test 
infrastructure needs, not the test. It's not wrong but it's always a 
concern when tests running with a security manager are granted 
non-obvious permissions. I would be tempted to change this test to drop 
the usage of Platform/OSVersion so that the test can be granted only the 
permissions that it needs. Alternatively maybe we can just drop the OS 
check from this test if we can establish that there aren't test systems 
running Solaris 11.2 or older (the 11.3 update was 2015).
