Quick observation:

  262             return (holder == null) ? holderRef.get() : holder;

This method can return null if the soft ref has been cleared.


But you don’t check in equals:

  270             if (obj instanceof Key && this.hash == ((Key)obj).hash) {
  271                 BaseLocale other = ((Key) obj).getBaseLocale();
  272                 BaseLocale locale = this.getBaseLocale();
  273                 if (LocaleUtils.caseIgnoreMatch(other.getLanguage(), 
locale.getLanguage())

good eye!

It seems this wasn't caught by the existing regression tests since none of them recreate Locales in that are likely to have been reclaimed, but still likely to still be in the CHM (it's a race of sorts since they'll be removed when the ReferenceQueue
processing happen).

I added a regression test with the smallest and quickest reproducer I could come up with that provokes a NPE if we don't check null along with the fix to Key#equals:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8196869/jdk.01/

For the normalize(Key) case we can deduce that a !normalized Key will always have a strongly referenced BaseLocale and thus not need to deal with getBaseLocale() returning null. I clarified this in the code and added an assert (that would be triggered
by the added test if it wasn't true).

Thanks!
