Hi all , Having found and already reported (at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8061924), the above bug, I would be indebted to you if you would be good enough to review the patch (which is included in-line in the above due to its small size) with a view to implementation in jdk9 and later back-porting to jdk8u. At the time of writing, both the bug and the efficacy of the patch, have been tested on x86, x86_64, ppc, ppc64 & ppcle platforms.
