Thank you!

As it turns out, I'd just noticed the global "WITH_IPV6=yes"
that I'd put in /etc/make.conf, and started recompiling java
without IPv6 support shortly before you sent that message.
I had already tried (both native jdks) with IPV6 turned
off in the "make config" menu -- or so I thought -- but
my choice was overriden by that forgotten entry.

The IPv6-less jdk works perfectly, now all that remains
is to figure out why IPv6 support has stopped working...

I'm fairly sure it worked fine before I switched motherboards
and upgraded to 7-CURRENT (now stable, or beta, or whatever).
