bug in Log when outputing tabs

[Mahmood Ali]

Greetings,

The changeset 72:1cf29847eb6e (whose parent is 70:41fb91c70d47), dated  
July 15th, 2008 and described as '6724071: refactor Log into a front  
end and back end', makes the compiler unstable when compiling a file  
containing tabs.

Consider the file TestTabs.java containing:
	t
(note beginning white space is a tab)

When compiling with any successor changeset that is a child of the  
given one, the compiling outputs an Exception stack trace (while  
outputing ^).  The expected result is the compiler would output '^' in  
the proper location and continue to parse the rest of the file (or  
stop) without an exception!

Sorry for sending this to the mailing list instead of open a bug  
report.  I decided to email, since I didn't know if the Sun database  
accepts bugs associated with OpenJDK javac 7.

Attached below is my transcript of my compilation and determining the  
revision causing the error:

Thanks,
Mahmood
