MAM 2.0 in WM5 (localhost vs //127.0.0.1/)

Question

We've been using ME 2.1 and MAM 2.0 in PPC 2003 for almost a year without any problems.
But now, we are trying to user new PDas with Windows Mobile 5, but are having problems in using them:
We made the download of the adequate JVM from NSIcom, and tried to install the application.
It seems that WM5 does not resolve //127.0.0.1/ to activate the ME.
We've tried using //localhost/ in Pocket IE and it seems to work, allowing us to install the applications (MAM).
However, we still have problems: Wen we try to access MAM we get the message:
[code]Error: 500
Location: /MAM25/home/home_mgmt.do
Internal Servlet Error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: cannot find message associated with key : dispatcher.forwardException

at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt()
at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run()
at java.lang.Thread.run()[/code]
this seems to be a result of the inability of WM5 to resolve //127.0.0.1/
We've found the following article for  PPC 2003 (in spanish), that shows how to make PPC2003 resolve "localhost" correctly:

Does any one know of a similar fix for Window Mobile 5?

What is necessary for PPC2003 to resolve 'locahost' correctly?
If you are having problems using Pocket PC's HTTP server or when connecting to a "localhost" with a PPC 2003 based device, you may need to configure tour device in the following way:
Create an acrchive named _setup.xml with the following content:

  <characteristic type="536870911">
  <parm name="Pattern" value="://localhost/" />

Create a cab file with this info
place it in the device and activate it

Hello Rogério.
I heard that there is no fix available at the moment and that Microsoft will ship a fix with the next major release.
Here are two links to find more information:
