Stephen,

I hope it isn't too late to give you this feedback, but I just got a
chance to try out jdk116v3a-glibc on RedHat 5.1 (Intel). Here is what I
found:

1) Swing menus now seem to appear in the correct place below the menu
bar rather than in front of it.

2) I *think* that my bug #5 in the bug tracking system might now be
fixed. The problem seems to have gone away. I suspected that this was
related to 1) so hopefully that fixed it.

3) My thread safety problem  with Graphics.drawString() still occurs.
This can be seen by running the testcase in my bug number 4. I am a
little puzzled by this, since the jdk116v3 readme seems to imply that
this is fixed, but I still get the problem of "array index out of bounds

exception".

In any case, I don't see any obvious regressions, and the fix to 1) is a

godsend, since I was getting very tired of moving every Swing window
before I could use a menu on it.

Thanks for the continuing efforts, and apologies that this feedback was
a while coming.
