Hi,
NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress() was crashing on solaris when the system had a network interface name longer than 15 characters, due to two instances in the native code for NetworkInterface where we were copying a char array of size 32 (LIFNAMSIZ) into a char array of size 16 (IFNAMSIZ), resulting in a buffer overflow with long names. The fix is to make sure that the space allocated for the interface name is consistent (16/32 bytes depending on the system), and to prevent overflows by using strncpy instead of strcpy.
