Hi,

Please find below a patch for:

8191033 Regression in logging.properties: specifying .handlers= for
         root logger (instead of handlers=) no longer works
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8191033

webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8191033/webrev.00/

The patch restores the behavior that was observed for JDK 8.

The test fails with jdk 9.0.1, but passes with jdk1.8.0_131 and
with this patch applied to a clone of http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk

best regards,
