Regardless, I tried with java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true, and it had no effect.

: 1. download http://javassh.org/download/jta26.jar this is a java/swing 
: telnet client
: 
: 2. Run
:    java -jar jta26.jar <someipaddress>
: and you get:
:    Socket: can't connect: java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument
: 
: 3. Run
:    java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar jta26.jar <someipaddress>
: and it works (assuming there is a telnet server there to connect to)

: At least that is how things behave for me.

That seems ... counter-intuitive.
