Hello, I agree that it is most likely low priority. I catched it since for some reason I have a Ant Job which is pretty slow on a VM and when stracing it stats this file multiple times and even worse it reads ct.sym (which I dont know yet whats going on). But I dont think this failed stat() causes my slowness – however it seems to happen repeatingly in some situations.
I can try to propose a patch to hotspot-dev and find a sponsor, I just wont have good means to run Tests. The lib/classes/ is also a interesting find on the boot classpath 😊 Gruss Bernd -- http://bernd.eckenfels.net Von: Bradford Wetmore Gesendet: Freitag, 19.

Hrm...this was (supposedly) fixed/removed on 2003-10-20 for JDK 5...but I can't find anything in the old SCCS workspace history to indicate it was (old bug id is nowhere to be found). It's been there ever since we migrated to Mercurial. Anyway, it's gone in JDK 9 as a result of the modularity code changes. I've filed: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8195794 Other than a bit of search overhead, I don't think it should cause a problem. This will be a pretty low bug priority bug for sustaining to fix, unless there is something I'm not catching. If someone is looking for a simple bug to learn the process of how to contribute to OpenJDK 8, this is a good candidate. That someone should probably followup with hotspot-dev [1], as this is their code.
