For issue [1] I wrote a test [2] which subsumes the test in the issue report and ran it on the usual platforms via a regression job including the core java.io tests and I did not observe the reported failure. Therefore this issue can simply be resolved as “Cannot Reproduce.” I am wondering however whether it would be worth adding the new test to the repository anyway, under a new, different issue ID, of course? In that case would there still be a “@bug” tag in the test and if so which issue number would it have?
Thanks, Brian [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6212869 [2] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/6212869/webrev.00/
