Hi!
This is a review request to add only the test case for the following
OracleJDK issue :
[ 7042126 : (alt-rt) HashMap.clone implementation should be re-examined ]
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7042126
* please note: I just marked the bug as "public" this morning, so there
will be a short delay before the above link is available.
The issue (root cause) is not in OpenJDK (i.e. the problem was OracleJDK
specific), but the test case is valid for any Java SE implementation so
it should go into OpenJDK so we can prevent a similar issue from ever
happening in both releases moving forward. The test case simply helps
ensure that the contents of a HashMap are not leaked when we clone the
HashMap.

The OracleJDK fix (closed source) for the original issue has already
passed code review and has been pushed into the appropriate closed
source tree.
