      This is not actually a JGroups bug, it's more of a Sun JVM bug. See the following:

      http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6939037

      In short, when a port is in use in Windows 7, SocketException is thrown instead of the more specific BindException.

      JGroups has code in several places that probes for available ports. Perhaps Windows 7 should be detected, and SocketException be caught instead of BindException in these circumstances.

      Before anyone cries out "get a real OS", we use RHEL on our production servers, but some of our developers use Windows 7 on their development boxes.
