I'm narrowing down a problem with BindAddress on jdk1.5, FreeBSD RELENG_6 .

uname -a output:
FreeBSD newbox.cognitiongroup.biz 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #3: Fri

Here's the error:

$ java TestServer localhost 8080
Host Address=localhost
Port        =8080
Exception in thread "main" java.net.BindException: Can't assign 
requested address

I'm able to reproduce the error with the following code, with IPv6 
enabled and with IPv6 disabled...

import java.net.*;

public class TestServer {

         public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
                 if (args.length   != 2) {
                         System.out.println("Usage: java TestServer 
<host_address_ipv6> <port>");
                         System.exit(1);
                 }

                 System.out.println("Host Address="+args[0]);
                 System.out.println("Port        ="+args[1]);
                 ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket();

                 ss.bind(new 
InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getByName(args[0]), 
  Integer.parseInt(args[1])));

                 System.out.println("ServerSocket Bound");

                 ss.accept();
         }
}
