> {{org/apache/geode/internal/cache/wan/GatewayReceiverImpl.java:66}} denotes a
> string comparison that relies on the specific C runtime that the JDK is run
> on top of. This code will misbehave on Alpine Linux (A popular linux
> distribution for containers) because it is based on the musl libc, not the
> GNU libc. The intent of the code is to throw an exception if the receiver
> cannot bind to the requested address. This will not occur if the JDK is
> compiled against musl libc. As an aside, the entire retry logic seems
> suspicious as it only retries in situations that are static and should not
> change, so the reason for the code should be re-evaluated and made more
> robust and not dependent on native os information.
