FreeBSD + Banco do Brasil + JDK 1.5 + IPv6 == BOOM

[Carlos A. M. dos Santos]

Greetings from Brasil,

I have 7.0-BETA2 i386 with Firefox 2.0.0.9 and JDK 1.5 (Java Plug-in
1.5.0_13) built from ports. My Java was generated with support for
IPv6, because I need this for professional reasons, and this seems to
be the cause of the problem described below.

When I attempt to access my home banking system, at

     https://www2.bancobrasil.com.br/aapf/login.jsp?aapf.IDH=sim

firefox fails to load the virtual keyboard applet used to provide the
user password. The Java console shows a lengthy error trace starting
with "java.net.ConnectException: Invalid argument" (see attachment).

The problem does not happen if I generate Java without IPv6. It also
does not happen if I use Firefox plus JDK 1.5 with IPv6 support on
Novell Linux, so I'm not sure about where the problem lies. Any help
will be appreciated.
