I'm conflicted.
It seems that quite a few Mac developers are running into this problem.
The fact that this code has been effectively transplanted from Apple's
JDK gives me a high degree of confidence in the fix. (it has already had
plenty of bake time in JDK6) Now that I think about it though, waiting a
couple of weeks won't stop us getting into 7u60 so I guess its no harm.
I'll revisit this in a fortnight as suggested.

Rob - what you would think about giving this a few weeks of bake time in
8 before pushing it to jdk7u-dev? I realize it is tempting to get it
pushed now while the patch is fresh (and maybe that is okay), it's just
that all changes in this area have had a history of change behavior in
subtle ways and these take time to surface.
