Okay, I think we should go with the changes that I have in the webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alanb/7030624/webrev/

Could I get a reviewer for this? As a reminder, the issue that Jing has 
brought up a few times is that this code is using size_t which is 
unsigned. The changes in the webrev change the return type to jint.
