Hi All
I have a test that basically looks like:

    int p = new ServerSocket(0).getLocalPort();
    //....
    new Socket("localhost", p);

Recently it's failing on solaris-i586, and after some investigation, I 
realize that the ServerSocket object is GC'ed and auto-closed.

(But why only recently?)

So I change the first line to

    ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(0);
    int p = ss.getLocalPort();

and it's running fine.

I want to know if the ServerSocket object still has a chance to be 
closed. If yes, I'll add a

    ss.close();

at the end to be safer.

Thanks

HotSpot changes I assume, perhaps changes to the reference processing or 
default heap settings.
