JDK-4197666 - Socket descriptors leak into processes spawned by Java programs on windows
Description

Hello,

My problem is:
I'm launching a command from Java using Runtime.exec() under NT (4.0SP3). 
This command seems to have only partially functioning sockets ! It's easy 
to reproduce this by launching ping <hostname>. ping <ip_address> works 
fine, by the way. I've tried JDKs 1.1.6, 1.1.7, 1.2beta 4. None works.

Any help or workarounds ?

The background is:
I'm trying to issues some CVS commands from java using the Runtime.exec() method. 
I need the pserver way to access my repository, and I don't want to program against 
that cryptic CVS client/server api myself.
