FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java 7u71 32 bit

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_71\bin>java.exe -version
java version "1.7.0_71"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Netbeans 8.0.1
2 ethernet ports, 1 virtual ethernet port
Broadcom NetExtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Realtek PCI GBE Family Controller
VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I attempt to open an inbound multicast port on an interface other than the default, the system exceptions claiming an invalid input.  This is new to 7u71

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 7u67

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\bin>java.exe -version
java version "1.7.0_67"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode, sharing)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Try to open a multicast port on an interface other than the first one on a machine (this will require a box with at least 2 Ethernet ports).  See the code example for how I am doing it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Will open the port on my manager and allow me to begin listening for traffic on my network.
ACTUAL -
Exception is generated when I set the interface on the multicast object: An invalid argument was supplied

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
run:
Exception in thread "main" java.net.SocketException: An invalid argument was supplied
