Sunbug 6934356: Vector.writeObject() synchronization risks serialization deadlock

[Mike Duigou]

Hi Neil;

Thanks for the updates. I have posted both this webrev and the Hashtable counterpart on cr.openjdk.java.net:

Hashtable :  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mduigou/6927486.1/webrev/

Vector : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mduigou/6934356.3/webrev/

I am confused on one point about the license. The copyright line mentions IBM but then the rest of the initial license comment refers to Oracle. To me, from the file text alone, it is not be clear why Oracle would be legally entitled to offer a license to the code. I defer to more lawyerly types to determine what's correct here.

The changes and testfiles otherwise look OK to me and I can push them as soon as the license question is resolved.

Thanks,

Mike
