[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

Please find below a patch [1] for [2]:

8048020 - Regression on java.util.logging.FileHandler

This corresponds to the problem that was discussed on this list
in the following email thread:

"Zombie FileHandler locks can exhaust all available log file locks."

[2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8048020

This patch would be a good candidate for being backported on 8, since
the issue was introduced in 8.

best regards,
